Everything you need to ship faster inside {AE}
Setup, daily workflows, and a complete reference for when something goes sideways. Pick a section below or use the sidebar.
Sidekick is a CEP panel that lives inside After Effects. Three modes — Question, Expression, and Script — turn plain English into expressions and full .jsx scripts, then apply them straight to your timeline. A built-in Script Editor lets you drive the AI line-by-line and debug existing scripts without leaving the panel. These docs walk you from first install to power-user habits.
Sidekick is a paid panel. You bring your own AI provider key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini), and a single Sidekick license activates the panel on up to two machines — see Licensing & activation for how that works.
