First time somebody made me feel excited about Ai. This is like the birth of JARVIS. Really loved how jake uses it. Thanks a lot man. For sharing the learnings ❤🙏💐
This is cool from an After Effects perspective, but this is mind blowing from a AI assistant perspective. This is the first time I've seen someone model how effective using an AI assistant can be, from iterating on an idea, to actually helping us learn specific concepts. It feels like a glimpse into the future. Wild.
This is exactly what i needed, there were many times where i thought “these can be a script, but i don’t know how to do it”, it’s like a godsend, thank you!
Really nice one. I'd recommend, to centre your shapes anchors and to centre to the comp, use CMD + Option + Home (fn+left arrow key) and CMD + Home (fn+left arrow key).
thats amazing! especially getting the comments in the script that help you understand whats happening. I always struggle with copy+pasting scripts from forums and then tweak them. thank you for trying it out and sharing!
This is the future - eventually After Effects (and pretty much every other bit of software) will be operated by Prompt Wranglers. You'll need no artistic training, just the ability to imagine something, and then AI will interpret your prompt. Then just iterate until you (or more likely, your client) are happy. Who needs hands for anything other than typing. And that won't last long either.
Truth or dare? If truth: Did chatgpt write the script(VO) to this video? If dare: I dare you to let chat GPT write the script to your next YT video 😅 Thanks for all you do for the motion community Jake🎉😂
Does it work with a free Chat GPT account? I installed Klutz GPT and used my API key it loaded up but when I typed something this same error message popped up "Error: Request failed with status code 429 You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details."
No, you have to pay for the usage of Chat GPT's API. The initial instructions Klutz GPT gives you explain everything. It's very affordable. I've used less than $1 so far.
I did the same with a scroll-able html code for my website... It did great for some time but after a while the code generated had more characters than it could give out in one message and i can't paste the code as it exceeds the character limit from my side too... After 4hrs of exhausting work, i chose to delete everything and continued without using the code at all...
I've been trying to use the new ChatGPT 4 version to create a script to write code that autofocuses the camera to a specific layer (The built-in function doesn't seem to take the camera orientation into account), and it just can't crack it. After many many prompts, I just gave up and went back to manually focusing. Maybe I just don't know how to use ChatGPT properly yet
Ohh, when i put the API, and try to say something, the chat send me this Error: Request failed with status code 429 You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.
Jake, this is excellent. It’s really good that you persevered and achieved these results. Please do more of these AI style videos, I really think we need to get ahead of the game now!
Awesome content, im getting an error tho in klutz: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. How do i charge my Open AI account? Help please
I frequently make animations in dual language (English and Te Reo Maori). Being a native english speaker I do the english first. Te Reo is usually about 30% longer, so I often have to extend a hundred layers to the end of a new timeline. When ChatGPT first came out, it amazed me when I asked it if it could write an AE script and it said yes, so I asked it to write a script to extend every layer to the end of the new timeline. My first ChatGPT script did this without errors, but didn't work on pre-comps, so with a single amendment (hey chat GPT, can you make this work with pre-comps and video files?), the script also adds time-remapping and moves the keyframe to the end. worked the first time! Getting this script working took me less than an hour. To hand code it would have taken me a week! Game-changer indeed.
I would like to have a script where I can type what font I want to change in the timeline but it would be for Adobe Premiere. For instance I run a channel where it's the same video but people request that I change the font. Instead of doing it in Photoshop I would like to just have a button so that it would change it for me on the timeline with multiple video clips.
this is just the beginning. They are most likely working on a first party integration of gpt 4 in aftereffects. It could even be the 32k token version of gpt 4, so not only smarter and more accurate than the gpt 3.5 used in the video, but with a significant improvement in contextual memory. Watch Microsoft's copilot presentation to see how far and powerful first party integration of gpt 4 can be. Shit's WILD.
I used chatGPT to modify an indesign plugin to have extra functionality that it didn't have off-the-shelf. Now the plugin works better with my server setup.
Sequence Layers Better.jsx is not working in AE 24.1.0. The other two scripts throw up this error - 'Unable to execute script at line ###. undefined is not an object'. I have tried to create my own scripts and I get the same message, has something changed since this video was published?
You're amazing Jake!! I can't wait to try all of this out. I really appreciate you including all the of the errors. It's a good reminder about how much trial and error there is but how all of it adds up to learning! Now to figure out.... What do I want to make?!?!?!
Using AI as a tool makes it less scarer, for thoose who are scared of the new AIs. And it's also a good perspective than thinking it could takes our jobs.
i tried making a script and it's telling me to copy it into Adobe After Effects script editor, save it to the right location and run it. I don't know how to get to the script editor tho :(
Oh my god one of my favorite memories from your old skillshare videos is you being like "idk why there's no function to re-sequence layers in AE, but here we are." and now years later AI is writing that code for you. We love to see that glow up
A few weeks ago I used Chat GPT to write a script that evenly and randomly distribute big amount of small circle shapes inside of the bounding box of the other large shape or layer. Using this script to set up a scenes for the liquid simulations in Newton3
Thank you! Very helpful Recently I wanted to convert one of my animations to json, which has a character in it. I was trying to write a script using chatGPT. I asked to write a script to convert my illustrator file to vector and delete unused paths without deform shape and colour, as json files have some limitations like it won't work with merge path etc.😅 I tried for a couple of hours and finally gave up. I knew it's complicated and i don't know how scripts work but it was fun.
This is great! I actually asked ChatGPT to explain to me some expressions that I found in the School of motion website, and while the explanation was great, asking it to develop some expression was a fail lol, none of them worked
I got the error 429: "You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details." Do you know on average roughly how much ChatGPT might be costing for a postproducer who works with After Effects every day?
You must have a credit card on file to use Chat GPT's API via KlutzGPT. The setup instructions in the help section of KlutzGPT walk you through this process. I've used a total of 63 cents since installing KlutzGPT and using the Chat GPT API.
right away got to downloading this and while i'm hopeful for the future when it can run on GPT4... right now it is better at generating errors then actually creating usable scripts in my hour or so of trying. At least to such an extend that, unless i'm doing somethign very repetitive on a daily or at least weekly bases, it's faster to just do it myyself than to try to steer chatGPT into doing what I need it to do, and doing it by hand is also less frustrating. great development in tech, but it's not there yet
I want a script that duplicates the current comp, delete all contents, drop the duplicated instance of the comp within itself, adds a suffix and lastly to drop a chart located within the project panel to the top layer. is that possible? I need it for making checker files for client.
I'm sure you could get everything working fairly quickly up until the part where you need the chart to be inserted into the comp. I know that's possible, but you'd have to tell the script how to identify that asset within the project, and I don't know exactly how that would work. Definitely worth asking Chat GPT about though.
I'm trying to figure out how to write a script that generates a cube, both with a fill, and strokes, that can be controlled with a slider. Bonus points for making it rotate. Been trying to figure it out since yesterday. Not a coder, so this is absolutely maddening lol.
Jake, I love your work, and I adore your channel, but I would humbly advise checking enthusiasm for all things Chat GPT, as it, or one of it's forthcoming successors are going to replace human animators entirely (and probably sooner than you or anyone else thinks). While it's true that we might now be living through a short golden age where Chat GPT provides amazing help to talented animators like yourself, ultimately it's a deal with the devil. You may think I'm wrong, and if so, I hope you're right.
That's a totally valid concern, and I understand it. But I also would encourage you to listen to the opinion of this animator on the topic: th-cam.com/video/xm7BwEsdVbQ/w-d-xo.html It may shift your perspective slightly.
@@JakeInMotion I also love Aaron Blaise, have seen that video, and respectfully disagree with his assessment. The advent of AI isn't like the leap from animating with pencils to animating with computers. In that case, a new tool was created, but it still served a human being's creative endeavor. AI, taken to its logical endpoint, represents the complete replacement of human creative endeavor (at least, in any commercial sense). The pencil it seems, doesn't need the animator anymore. Obviously, this is too deep a discussion to be had in a comments section, but because you're one of the top human beings in the game, I feel the need to look out for you!
Jake, your communication skills are getting so dang good. I feel like you answered all the questions I was asking as watching. Very thorough and thoughtful examination. Thank you for your work!
I tried my hand at chat gpt with Vex language for houdini and it worked like it, I don't recommend to a very fresh to the program person, it can frustrate a lot, but if you know a bit and know a bit of scripting in whatever application you use it can be of some help.
From the speed of the generation, it seems this uses gpt 3.5, you could get much better code from gpt 4 (it's really night and day). Gpt plus is really worth the 20 bucks a month.
You're right. GPT4 just isn't available as an API yet so KlutzGPT doesn't have access to it. It's also limited to only 25 messages per 3 hours, which is severely limiting if you're trying to do anything more complex. And while it is more reliable, I still have had to do plenty of back and forth with errors and misunderstandings. So while it's better, it's still not perfect.
@@JakeInMotion I do use it extensively and you might think 25 message is a barrier but : 1. It's a fairly reasonable one if you take the time to interact with the AI 2. This limitation is for ChatGPT, not for the API itself. So once you get access to GPT4, using the playground will yield better results without the 25 messages limits. Besides, ChatGPT switches to GPT3 past these 25.
What scripts do you want created by AI?
Great video! I wonder To have a script To use variable font inside after effect
That would probably have to be a new feature of after effects, but a tool called Variety just came out that lets you do that! supa.supply/variety
a 'get out of the way' (with editable bounce) script based on the comp boundaries, or better yet the combined alphas.
I tried to create script for Premiere, but I couldn't import it to Pr sadly :
@Noor Ul Mustafa That would have to be a plugin, and one already exists: aescripts.com/depth-scanner?aff=35
First time somebody made me feel excited about Ai. This is like the birth of JARVIS.

This is an absolutely BRILLIANT walkthrough of this profoundly useful tech. Thanks so much Jake!!!
Really nice one. I'd recommend, to centre your shapes anchors and to centre to the comp, use CMD + Option + Home (fn+left arrow key) and CMD + Home (fn+left arrow key).
Great video, it's super fun to watch you and the AI solve problems together.
Woww! Trying this right away !!
You are an After Effects King!
How awesome. I love this channel. Always exploring and learning new things.
This is Insane Jake! Great Finding.
thats amazing! especially getting the comments in the script that help you understand whats happening. I always struggle with copy+pasting scripts from forums and then tweak them. thank you for trying it out and sharing!
Now THAT is a useful video. Subscribed. This video alone worth the subscription.
thank you for this amazing video Jake
I will never not love hearing that buttery smooth voice ;)

Beautiful tutorial!
This got me so excited yet so freakin' scared that in a couple years my whole job might be obsolete
This is insane
This is both sexy and terrifying... I think I'm scaroused... 🧐

There won't be clients anymore though. Who needs to hire you if it's that easy.
Truth or dare?
If truth:
Did chatgpt write the script(VO) to this video?

It's already a thing for me!
@@JakeInMotion yeah, I would assume that you got addicted to it already.

nooo chat GPT!!! don’t terminate aescripts 😭😭😭
I doubt we're going to get to that point.
me : transfer 20% of elon musk bank deposit to my account, somehow LEGALLY
chatgpt : are you sure 20% ? not 50 % or more ?
Neat.
awesome vid, but we need paid version of chatGPT for this to work????
Yes. Chat GPT's API is not free.
Nice
Is there anything similar for Photoshop or illustrator ?
Not that I'm aware, but you could use the web version to write scripts for both.
PowerPoint for noobs
Now let's make it work on premiere, like i ask some edits and the Ai does that for me 🎉
It will happen.
Well there already is the scene detection which adds edits for you 😉
The Remix tool will help you cut a tune down to fit your desired length automatically.
@@ViziaFilms lol
Would auto scene detection give you a similar result to “AutoPod” ?
I can literally feel my entire life changing while watching this video, thank you for uploading this.

update: using tips from this video I turned it into a dockable window with a button! works a treat.
That's great!
When you’re thinking of which script for AE you wanna create you’re doing the type of work AI can’t do
I see you’ve not used our boy GPT much, you can just ask it what suggestions of scripts could be done in AE
Now let me make plugins like "Battel Axe" by using chat gpt😅
Holy crap this is fantastic. I've been using AE for over a decade and it's rare to feel this excited to try something new in it!
Could you please share how you edit your voice for TH-cam? Which software and settings please.
This is incredible. Not just the ai capabilities but the fact that you went through all of this and shared the journey with us

Doesn't matter what I do, it always has jsx is undefined. Useless
How long do you think we have until the avg Joe and Jane can just ask for an animation and get it free and quickly without the need to hire a human?
i just want to tell chatgpt to do what i want to do and let him to create an execute button for that. its happening boiz. its the end.
I made a script to change comp duration from a ui panel. It so much easier now, don't need to open comp settings anymore 😁
This is great! I actually asked ChatGPT to explain to me some expressions that I found in the School of motion website, and while the explanation was great, asking it to develop some expression was a fail lol, none of them worked
how should i run in my pc
please make a tutorial for installation of klutz gpt
i bought it from this link but it doesn't work, it opens a white screen on aftereffects
…or he can do the work himself and save 2 hour of talking to chat GPT
a lot of the back and forth could be fixed by just using chatgpt pro gpt4 model
I've had mixed results, but it does seem to do a bit better.
