After Effects Scripts Maker-AI-powered After Effects scripts.

Example

Snippet – create comps from footage, add text, and send to the Render Queue: """ app.beginUndoGroup('Batch Build'); var proj = app.project; var folder = proj.rootFolder; function mkComp(name,w,h,dur,fps){return proj.items.addComp(name,w,h,1,dur,fps);} var comp = mkComp('Shot_010',1920,1080,10,24); var text = comp.layers.addText('Hello'); text.property('ADBE Text Properties').property('ADBE Text Document').value.fontSize = 120; var rqItem = proj.renderQueue.items.add(comp); rqItem.outputModule(1).file = new File('~/Desktop/Shot_010.mov'); app.endUndoGroup(); """

Scenario

Real‑world use: Broadcast toolkit. A ScriptUI panel lets producers paste an episode rundown (or load CSV). The tool auto‑creates comps per segment, inserts pre‑approved lower‑thirds, applies color‑safe styles, sets work areas, and pushes everything to the Render Queue with naming templates and output paths. Options include: safe‑margin checks, auto‑tracking fonts via Project.usedFonts, and error logging to a text file. Time savings: hours per episode.

Example

Generated effect skeleton highlights: • PiPL with category, match name, and parameter definitions (slider, checkbox, point). • Entry point with PF_Cmd_GLOBAL_SETUP / PARAMS_SETUP / RENDER and PF_OutFlags2_SUPPORTS_THREADED_RENDERING. • Thread‑safe render stub with PF_IterateXX helpers and float16/32 paths. • Apple Silicon/X64 project configs, export symbol settings, and minimal UI draw hooks. // Example RENDER body (pseudocode): """ PF_Err Render(...) { // Checkout input, access params // Thread‑safe loop over pixels // Write to output respecting premultiplied alpha return errNone; } """

Scenario

Real‑world use: In‑house visual effect. You need a custom color transform + vignette that must preview fast. The scaffold compiles in Xcode/VS, registers under Effect > Company > MyVignette, ships with unit‑test style frame comparisons, and includes comments for adding a Compute Cache key if you later precompute LUTs. An AEGP variant can add a dockable panel to bulk‑set render templates, control the Render Queue, and enforce filename policies across a studio.

Example

ScriptUI/CEP panel features I can generate: • Resizable panel with tabs: Templating, QC, Render. • CSV/JSON ingest (File.openDlg), previews of records, and per‑row validation. • Buttons wired to app.beginUndoGroup/app.endUndoGroup safety and app.scheduleTask for long runs. • Aerender command builders and shell‑safe path handling. // Tiny UI excerpt (ScriptUI): """ var w = new Window('palette','Toolkit'); var list = w.add('listbox', undefined, [], {multiselect:true}); var btn = w.add('button', undefined, 'Build'); btn.onClick = function(){ /* run build pipeline */ }; w.show(); """

Scenario

Real‑world use: Social cut‑downs at scale. Editors drop source videos and a JSON brief into a watch folder. A small watcher (AppleScript/PowerShell + JSX) runs: it imports assets, generates aspect‑ratio variants (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), places safe areas, burns subtitles from SRT, and calls aerender for headless exports. Results are named with slug/date/version and uploaded to a delivery folder. The same panel can run locally for interactive tweaks.
