AE Agent
AE Agent
An AI agent that lives inside Adobe After Effects: you chat in English or Spanish and the agent executes tools on your project — creates comps, adds layers, writes expressions, animates properties. Works with your Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini subscription, your API key, or a local model.
How it works
Install it as an Adobe CEP panel. Open it from Window → Extensions → AE Agent, pick your provider (Claude, GPT, Gemini or a local model), and talk to it like a collaborator. It has 50+ internal tools — from creating layers and keyframes to writing expressions and rendering — and self-corrects when something fails.
