What It Does
Claude Scripter converts natural language commands into executable ExtendScript code inside After Effects. Instead of writing JSX manually, describe what you need in plain English. The extension generates the code, runs it, and saves it to a library for reuse.
Key Features
Multi-model support. Choose from Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), or Grok (xAI) based on your API access. Each model brings different strengths to code generation.
Local LLM support. Run models like Llama or Gemma through Ollama or LM Studio on your own machine. This avoids API costs entirely and keeps your work offline.
Script library. Every generated script gets saved automatically with a name and description. Build a collection of custom automations (batch renaming, keyframe offsetting, layer alignment) and rerun them with a click.
Edit mode. Modify saved scripts manually or ask the AI to refine them. Change layer colors, adjust timings, or fix errors without regenerating from scratch.
Native execution. Code runs directly in After Effects. No copying from a browser or external editor. Write, test, and apply in one interface.
Who It’s For
Motion designers who spend time on repetitive timeline tasks: renaming layers, organizing comps, distributing objects, or applying simple expressions. If you find yourself doing the same five-step process across projects, this turns it into a one-line prompt.
Useful for batch operations (“rename all Shape layers to Element_01”), project cleanup (“remove unused solids”), layout tasks (“distribute layers evenly across screen width”), and basic expression writing (“add loopOut to rotation on selected layers”).
Pricing
$39.90 for a single-user license. The extension requires your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or xAI. You pay only for API usage through your chosen provider, with no subscription to the extension itself. Local models avoid API costs completely.
