Add Parent Null is a script to attach and parent selected layers to a null object.

- automatic layer length and timeline position of null object
- automatic color label grouping
- center anchor point on selected layers
- the script is using shape layers as a "fake" null object instead of standard AE null objects
- change shape, color, thickness, size, position of the null object
- the null object's own anchor point is centered
- no more useless null solids in the project managers solids folder



Installation

Put the script "AddParentNull.jsxbin" in your After Effects Scripts > ScriptUI Panels folder.
You'll then find it in the After Effects Windows menu.

For a better workflow install the script as a shortcut. 
Put the "AddParentNull-shortcut.jsxbin" file in your After Effects Scripts folder and assign a shortcut in AE.
The ‘AddParentNull-shortcut-center.jsxbin’ shortcut always inserts the Null in the center of the composition.
