Real animation, not a rendered clip
Claude reads your comps and layers, then builds and edits the animation itself: keyframes with real easing, text, shapes, masks, effects, expressions and templates.
Motion Studio is a panel that lets Claude work in your open After Effects project, building real keyframes, text, shapes and effects while you watch every step.
Motion Studio runs on a Windows or Mac computer. Open this page there to install it.
Say what you want to see, in plain words. Claude builds it in your project with real layers and keyframes, and shows you every step it takes.
One installer sets up the panel and connects the Claude Code you already use. Then you just ask.
Download the zip for your system, unzip it and double-click Install Motion Studio. It sets up the panel and connects Claude Code.
In After Effects, choose Window › Extensions › Motion Studio. Dock it wherever you like.
Type what you want in the Chat tab, the way you'd brief an animator, and watch each step as it happens.
It works in your real project, where you can watch, stop and undo.
Claude reads your comps and layers, then builds and edits the animation itself: keyframes with real easing, text, shapes, masks, effects, expressions and templates.
Claude renders preview frames and looks at them before it tells you it's done.
Talk to Claude inside After Effects, see its thinking and every step, and answer its questions with a click.
It uses your own Claude Code and Claude plan: no API key, and no extra per-message billing.
Every action appears as it happens. Pause stops Claude instantly; Undo, Redo and Save work on the same file.
Claude can change only the project you protect. Every other project stays read-only to it.
Claude records its mistakes with the fix, keeps your rules, reads them before it starts, and gets the fix back when a known problem repeats.
Pick your system. Install Motion Studio sets up the panel and connects Claude Code.

Motion-Studio-Windows.zip.Motion-Studio-Mac.zip in Downloads.Is it safe? Everything installs only in your own user folders, with no admin password. Your Claude sign-in happens on Claude’s own page; Motion Studio never sees or stores it. To remove everything, run Uninstall Motion Studio from the same folder. Updates come to you: when a new version is out, the panel tells you and installs it with one click (every update is signed, so only real Motion Studio updates are accepted).
Motion Studio is free. Claude’s work runs on your own Claude Code and Claude plan, like any other Claude Code session. There’s no API key to add, and Motion Studio charges nothing extra per message.
Claude can change only the project you protect; any other project you open stays read-only to it. Pause stops Claude instantly, Undo and Redo step through its changes, and Save writes to the same file. The chat in the panel doesn’t run shell commands on your computer.
Yes. There’s a download for each: a zip for Windows and a zip for macOS. Unzip it and double-click Install Motion Studio. Both need Node.js and Claude Code; you connect your Claude account inside the panel with one button. On a Mac, open the installer the first time with right-click › Open.
After Effects 2022 or later. Once installed, open it from Window › Extensions › Motion Studio.
To do the work, details of your project, such as comps, layers, their settings and preview frames, are sent to Claude, made by Anthropic. Before using it on confidential client work, check your Claude plan’s data policy.
Install it, open a project, and ask Claude for the first move.
