Features

Not Just a Chatbot.

AE-GPT is deeply integrated into After Effects. It sees what you see.

🧠

Context Aware

Unlike ChatGPT in a browser, AE-GPT reads your active composition, selected layers, and property values. It knows you're working on "Shape Layer 1" and writes code specifically for it.

Instant Apply

Don't copy-paste. When AE-GPT generates an expression or script, just click "Apply" to execute it immediately on your selected layers.

🔒

Privacy First

Your project secrets are safe. We support local LLMs via Ollama, so you can run AI entirely offline without sending any data to the cloud.

🤖

Multi-Model

Choose your brain. Support for OpenAI (GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet), and Google (Gemini 1.5 Pro). Bring your own API key.

🛠️

Scripting Agent

Need to create 10 precomps from selected layers? Or offset all layers by 5 frames? Just ask. AE-GPT can write and run JSX scripts to automate UI tasks.

💬

History & Chat

Keep a conversation going. Refine your results by asking follow-up questions like "Make it faster" or "Add a wiggle to the rotation too".

What can you do?

Fixing Expressions

1. Fix Broken Projects

Opened an old project and everything is red? Paste the error message into AE-GPT. It will explain exactly why the expression failed (e.g., "language updated in AE 2024") and provide the corrected code.

Creative Brainstorming

2. Creative Brainstorming

"I need a text animation that feels like a glitchy hacker terminal." AE-GPT will suggest the effects to use (Block Dissolve, Displacement Map) and write the expressions to drive them randomly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay for OpenAI/Claude separately? +
Yes. AE-GPT requires your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. This ensures you pay the lowest possible price directly to the provider (usually pennies per month for heavy usage). Alternatively, you can use Ollama for free locally.
Does it work on Mac and Windows? +
Yes! AE-GPT is fully compatible with macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) and Windows 10/11.
Which versions of After Effects are supported? +
We support After Effects 2022 and newer. Some features also work in Premiere Pro 2022+.
Can I use it on multiple computers? +
A single license allows you to install AE-GPT on up to 2 computers (e.g., a desktop and a laptop).
Is my data secure? +
Absolutely. We prioritize your privacy. Your project data is only processed when you explicitly request it. If you use local LLMs like Ollama, no data ever leaves your machine.
Does it support expressions in other languages? +
Yes, AE-GPT can understand and generate expressions in JavaScript (ExtendScript), which is the standard for After Effects. It can also help translate logic from other languages if needed.
What happens if I update After Effects? +
We actively maintain AE-GPT to ensure compatibility with the latest After Effects releases. Updates are free for the lifetime of the major version you purchased.
