Describe the motion. After Effects builds it.
AE MCP Claude lets Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and other AI apps work inside your After Effects. They study a reference, plan the job with you, build comps and keyframes, find footage, generate images and video, and render the result.
Plan, then build a six-second title sting: the bar wipes in, the title rises with a soft landing, a little glow at the end.
What your AI app can do in After Effects
- Study a reference
- Give it a video or a link. It finds the cuts, timing, easing, colours and the music's beat.
- Plan with you first
- A step-by-step plan appears in the panel. Nothing is built until you approve it.
- Build and animate
- Comps, text, shapes, masks, cameras, effects and your installed plugins, with real easing.
- Find and make assets
- Free stock photos, footage, music and sound effects, or AI images and video, credited and imported.
- Render
- MP4, MOV or PNG sequences, inside After Effects or in the background while you keep working.
- Stay in control
- Every AI action is one undo step. Pause it any time from the panel.
