What It Does
aiImageGen connects After Effects to Replicate’s image generation models. Type a prompt, optionally use your current comp frame as a reference, and the generated image gets downloaded, imported, and placed on your timeline. No need to bounce between browser tabs and AE.
The plugin supports seven different models: Google Nano Banana, Google Nano Banana Pro, Google Imagen 4, Bytedance Seedream 4, FLUX Kontext Pro, FLUX 2 Pro, and MiniMax Image-01. Each model offers its own settings for aspect ratios, sizes, and style presets.
Key Features
Multiple generation modes. Create images from text prompts alone, upload a reference image, or capture the current comp selection to use as a reference. The plugin handles the API call and file management.
Automatic import and placement. Generated images get saved to your project folder, imported into AE, and placed in the active composition, scaled and centered.
Built-in cost tracking. The plugin estimates Replicate API costs before generation and alerts you if your account has insufficient credits or if a prompt gets blocked.
Model variety. Switch between models depending on your needs. Each offers different strengths for photorealism, stylization, or speed.
Who It’s For
Motion designers who want AI-generated imagery as part of their compositing workflow. If you’re already working in After Effects and need quick visual assets without interrupting your process, this keeps everything in one place.
You’ll need a Replicate API account with credits, so there’s an ongoing usage cost on top of the plugin price.
Pricing
$7 for a single user license. You’ll also need to maintain Replicate API credits, which are billed separately based on your usage.
