Basic Workflow

Follow this quick workflow to use BringScript inside Adobe After Effects:

1. Select Layers (Optional)
   If your script involves specific layers, select them first in the timeline panel.

2. Choose an Assistant
   Open the BringScript panel and pick the right Assistant from the dropdown menu:

   • Layer Builder for layer actions

   • Keyframe Assistant for animations

   • General Assistant for other creative tasks

3. Write Your Prompt
   Describe what you want to happen, just like you’re explaining it to a teammate.
   Example:

   "Animate the selected text layer with a smooth bounce effect."

4. Generate the Script
   Click the Send button.
   BringScript will translate your prompt into production-ready ExtendScript.

5. Preview and Execute
   Review the generated script. If you want a different result, you can edit the parameters before running it inside After Effects.

Tip: You can tweak the script manually if you want extra custom control before running it.

Writing Effective Prompts

The better your prompt, the smarter your scripts. Here's how to get the best results:

• Be Specific
  Clear prompts give you exactly what you want.

  Instead of: "Make it bounce,"
  Try: "Animate the selected layer with an elastic bounce, lasting 2 seconds."

• Reference Layers
  If you're working with specific layers, mention their name or type for more accurate targeting.
  Example:

  "Add a wiggle expression to the layer named 'Logo'."

• Include Parameters
  Numbers and settings (like durations, positions, and easing) make your results precise.
  Example:

  "Create a fade-in animation for my text layer over 1 second with ease-out timing."

BringScript is designed to understand natural, creative language. Think it, type it, script it — that’s it.
