  Three useful After Effects scripts created using chat GPT, including sequence layers, reverse layer order, and make a line, but refinement is needed due to unreliable code.

  • Learn how to create three useful After Effects scripts using chat GPT, including script UI panels that can be docked into the workspace and accessed at any time.
  • Three useful scripts for After Effects: sequence layers, reverse layer order, and make a line, all created using chat GPT directly in After Effects.
  • Chat GPT is an AI chat bot that can write scripts and expressions for After Effects, but the code it produces is often unreliable and requires refinement.
  • Klutz GPT is an After Effects extension that streamlines script and expression writing by allowing users to link their open AI account and communicate directly with the AI in an After Effects panel.
  • Klutz GPT is a tool that links to open ai's chat GPT and automatically identifies errors, saving time and supporting multiple chats.

  Klutzgpt is an AI script for After Effects that automates layer sequencing based on user input.

  • Klutzgpt is a pay-what-you-want script that automates tasks in After Effects and is recommended to support the developer.
  • The speaker used an AI script prompt starter to sequence layers in After Effects based on the order they were selected in by a number of frames determined by the user, including an undo group to easily undo any changes made.

  AI script fixed after communication, but still had layer sequencing issue; avoid using unfamiliar words when chatting with AI and consider starting over if necessary.

  • The AI script was not sequencing the layers correctly, but after communicating with the AI, it was able to provide an updated script that fixed the issue of the first layer being offset by the number of frames input by the user, but still had the issue of sequencing the layers from top to bottom.
  • Avoid using words you don't understand when communicating with AI.
  • Starting over with a new chat can sometimes be the solution when the AI is not behaving as desired.

  After encountering UI issues in After Effects, the speaker sought help from chatgpt to create a working UI panel for their script.

  • The speaker encountered an issue with the UI of an alert panel in After Effects while testing a script, but was able to easily communicate the error to an AI and eventually decided to ask for a UI panel for the script instead.
  • Creating a script UI panel in After Effects requires saving it as a jsx file and installing it into the script.
  • The speaker had issues with the panel and asked chatgpt for help in creating a framework for an After Effects UI panel with a button inside of it, which resulted in simpler code and a working panel.

  Using AI language models to generate code, the speaker learned how to script in After Effects and created a custom dockable script UI panel by working on one problem at a time.

  • The speaker learned how to script in After Effects by using an AI language model to generate code and teach them how to do specific tasks.
  • To efficiently create a custom dockable script UI panel using AI, work on one problem at a time and save the code for each feature before opening a new chat to generate a script for the next feature.

  Scripting with AI had its challenges, but the speaker successfully reversed layers and created a single line generator script for After Effects.

  • The speaker created a script using AI to reverse the order of selected layers, but encountered errors before successfully achieving the desired outcome.
  • The speaker encountered a character limit issue while accessing chat jbt's API, but was able to work around it by starting a new chat and asking Klutz GPT to modify the code, resulting in a faster iteration process and successful creation of a single line generator script for After Effects.

  Don't hesitate to ask for help when troubleshooting code, as a fresh set of eyes can easily fix simple oversights.

  • The speaker created a script to draw a centered two-point open path with a stroke and slider control, but had difficulty applying the necessary expression to tie the Path property to the slider length.
  • Don't be afraid to ask for help when troubleshooting code, as a simple oversight can be easily fixed with a fresh set of eyes.
  • Links to servers and channels for scripting help are provided, and AI-generated scripts are approved by a human and contain valuable comments for understanding how scripts work.
