What It Does
Cult Translator translates After Effects text layers using GPT-powered AI without leaving the app. Select layers, pick source and target languages, and the plugin updates all text automatically. It works on individual layers, batch selections, and text nested inside precomps. Useful for teams localizing marketing videos, tutorials, or social content into multiple languages.
Key Features
Batch translation. Select multiple text layers and translate them in one pass. The plugin processes layers in optimized batches.
Nested precomp support. Scans selected layers and all nested precomp levels, translating text wherever it appears.
100+ languages. Supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, and more.
Context field. Add brand guidelines, tone instructions, or specific terminology to improve translation accuracy. Helps the AI match your creative intent.
Formatting preservation. Keeps fonts, colors, alignment, and keyframes intact after translation.
Production-ready output. Automatically cleans up newlines and escape characters so translated text is ready to render.
Runs entirely inside After Effects using system-native curl. No external apps or spreadsheets required.
Who It’s For
Agencies delivering multi-market campaigns, motion designers producing multilingual content, and social media teams managing international versions. If you’re regularly creating 10 to 50 language versions of the same project, this automates the repetitive text updates.
