MotionPilot

An After Effects panel that turns a sentence into compliant motion. It reads your composition's real layers, plans the animation, and writes keyframes — locked to the same motion-tokens.json the rest of MotionHub uses.

View source (GitHub) How it works

The source repository is public. Installer packaging and the final license are still in progress.

MotionPilot reads a sentence and writes editable keyframes inside After Effects — Real AE capture: enter an intent, generate a constrained plan, write editable keyframes, and preview the result. The wait is shortened; the AE result is real.

One sentence in

Describe the feel — "title eases in, cards pop one by one" — and MotionPilot plans it into a motion DSL.

Locked to the spec

Curves, durations and stagger can only come from motion-tokens.json, so output is compliant by construction.

Real keyframes, not expressions

It writes visible, editable AE keyframes with eased handles — never hidden expressions.

Install

Open or download the public source repository above.
Copy panel/MotionPilot.jsx into After Effects → Scripts → ScriptUI Panels.
Start the local watcher, open the panel in AE, and point it at your spec URL.
