About the script:
The Helix DNA After Effects script creates a 3D DNA double helix animation in After Effects at the touch of a button.
DNA After Effects animations can take time to put together, with Helix all you have to do is select the number of strands you need and hit go. The script does all the hard work for you and creates a DNA double helix in moments.
The double helix animation is completely customisable and powered by a control null that spins in the Y direction to produce the standard 3D helix effect.

A ready made DNA double helix animation in After Effects
There are a few different ways of creating DNA double helix animations in After Effects, each of which takes quite a bit of time to perfect and get right.
With the Helix DNA After Effects script, all you need to do is select the number of strands you'd like to use and hit go! The script does all the heavy lifting and in moments you'll have a 3D double helix animation ready to go.
Customise the look and feel of your DNA
The animated double helix that's created is made entirely of After Effects shape layers, which means you can completely customise the look and feel of the elements.
The Helix DNA After Effects script also creates a control null for the double helix animation so you can easily change the colours, the rotation of the helix, the spacing, and the size of the strands.
Experiment with different colours and styles to make the DNA After Effects animations your own.

Frequently Asked Questions about the licence
Where is my licence key?
Your licence key is sent to you via email. It is also available via the script's product page in your Lemon Squeezy Orders.
Why do I keep being asked to provide my licence key?
Each licence allows you to use the script on a set number of workstations. For example: the solo licence allows you to use the script on two workstations at a time.
If you or someone else tries to use the script on a third computer then the first person who registered the script will be logged out and you will need to provide the key again.
If you need access to the script from more than two workstations either purchase another individual licence, or subscribe to a team licence.
My licence key isn't working
Please try all of the following before sending an email:
- Make sure you're inputting the full and exact licence key without any extra spaces at the start or end.
- Please check you are actively connected to the internet.
- Try temporarily disabling any firewalls or anti-virus software. Remember to re-enable them afterwards.
- If you're still having trouble please email: [email protected]
