Describe-to-keyframe: a first move in Altar Chat.

You describe the move in plain language. Altar Chat conjures the keyframes. You keep the taste.

Lede

The simplest thing you can do in Altar Chat is also the most telling: ask it to ease a layer in. Type the intent, and the keyframes appear — placed, eased, and ready to nudge.

Altar Chat is the oracle station at the altar. You bring it your own AI key; it drives the Bridge. You say “bring the title up over twelve frames, settle it with a soft overshoot,” and Altar translates that into real keyframes on the real property.

The receipt

Every move comes back with a receipt — what changed, on which layer, on which property. You read the receipt, not a wall of jargon. If it is not what you meant, you say so, and Altar adjusts.

Keeping the wheel

Chat is not a chatbot you hand the project to. It is a fast pair of hands that respects the timeline. Composition and judgement stay yours; the tedium is what gets conjured away.
