§ The altar · agent inside AEAI for After Effects

Finally, an AI that opens your project before it opens its mouth.

Altar is an agent inside After Effects. It reads your project — layers, rigs, hierarchy — before it suggests or builds anything. Battle-tested tools, hand-built assets, and every step undoable. You keep the taste.

Add a 24px roundness and a soft bounce-in to the logo card.

Comp read — rigging the corners so they stay rename-proof, then easing the scale on entry.

Chat

Describe the move and the agent drives After Effects — reading the comp, rigging layers, setting keyframes. Every step is a receipt.

№ 01Make it by hand

Hand tools, one click away.

Anchor Align, rigged primitives, transform rigs — the moves you'd rather make yourself, as one-click widgets on a layout you arrange. Ported from tools with years of production scar tissue.

  • Anchor Align — snap the anchor without the math
  • Rigged primitives — shapes that stay rename-proof
  • Transform rigs — repeaters, loops, scale, glow

№ 02Grab it pre-made

A library that fits itself in.

Built by motion designers, not scraped by a model. Templates, presets, transitions, and footage that land in your comp and sit like you made them. New Drops every week — and Chat can reach in and place them for you.

  • Hand-built assets — no gen-AI filler

№ 03Describe it

Reads the comp. Then acts.

Describe the move and the agent drives After Effects — but it won't touch a layer it hasn't read. It rigs, keyframes, and places from the Vault, and every operation lands as a receipt you can open, trust, or undo.

  • Reads your comp before it touches a layer
  • Rigs layers and sets keyframes for you
  • Every operation is an auditable receipt
