Using ChatGPT AI to Create Animations (After Effects GAMECHANGER!) 

Are you going to try making scripts using ChatGPT?

This tool is so incredibly awesome at saving time. You could have poured through stack overflow, GitHub, RU-vid tutorials, and eventually got the same result. I love how direct this tool makes that process without all the bloat, annoyances, and negativity from people pushing up their glasses because you dare ask for help.

This is was one of the first things I did when I use GPT for the first time. I was trying to look for videos on RU-vid a few weeks ago but I was not able to find anyone doing with GPT. I guess RU-vid recommend me your video because of that so this is another example that your video was actually recommended in RU-vid from a search from more than a month ago. Great video

This is insane!! Thanks for making this!

This is absolutely wild, I never would've thought to have it write AE scripts....time for some animation!

Amazing and thank you for sharing!

Amazing video and editing! So cool!

Damn a really good video! Great looking tools as well.

Definitely useful! Logically the people that will get the most from it are the ones that allow themselves to get taught by the AI as they go. Just cut-n-pasting each new version and not engaging fixes the job at hand but adds little extra value. You are reliant in both instances on the AI getting it right eventually though, having been appropriately trained and prompted, otherwise you might as well ask a bloke down the pub if the answer is never correct. It partly depends on the value of your personal time as to whether you would buy any script: With AI though If I could type a prompt and do it 'myself' in 5 mins I probably wouldn't buy one now. But looking at these things as purely functional elements, if there was a script I wanted and someone had one for sale, and since we often have no ideas who hand codes things and to what quality, so long as the price was right and I figured it was quicker to buy than to quiz-and-test an AI then it wouldn't make a different to me one way or the other in terms of purchasing whether it was fully hand crafted or AI crafted. Good old Supply-n-Demand would make an impact though: As more people do this as it becomes easier to do then the price will likely drop as there's more versions of the script. People will also become aware that they take less time to make, and might have an AI go at doing it themselves.

Excellent, as always.

insanely smart use of ChatGPT! Kudos

This is an ingenious use of AI. Thank you. I've never made a script but it might help me with expressions, which I suck at.

years of learning JavaScript gone like tears in the rain

oh cool I saw you talking about this on reddit and now it show's up in my recommendations :) awesome video!

Super dope find! I might honestly try this for my own projects haha

Love it! Nice work

a bit buggy but useful and a great way to learn how to do weird stuff you always wish you could. thanks man.

this is insaaaane

Awesome video mate. This is a game changer for editors that aren’t proficient coders, so much time saved 🙏

Brooo I've been using chatgtp a lot but haven't thought of this this is amazing

Yeah, this is the way! TY Nick!

Nice time saver!

Thanks for sharing this!!

I am so excited about the possibilities of chatGPT! Im in the same boat as you, curious by intimated. Plus, I'm all self taught so this is just my speed! Thanks for the ideas!

AMAAAAAZIING !!! ❤❤

I can clearly see the future of animation!!

Hahaha love the "wardrobe change."

I think I might try it, we have a few system level scripts that create logo kits with Illustrator that an old employe made but he has retired, they still work but a few options have stop so I might give it to ChatGPT to see if he can revive them

Thx for the great video 🎉

Dude !!!! You are a Beast! RESPECT 👊

NICK THIS IS CRAZY

You are a badass Nick, thanks for sharing this!

great shit man!

This is kinda sick. I make panels and when making a promo image, spacing them out quickly and evenly is always annoying. Having a macro would be so freaking cool. I need to study this video more!

Curious? Does your scripts also contain the Prompts you've used?

Great video!

I need to test this!😄

Thank you Mister Nick

hey Nick, great tutorial. Can you tell me how this graphic design is called? (the ony with the window and the icons and the force field around the mouse). I'd love to learn how to design in this style but can't find the right tutorials for it. Thanks!

Amazeballs!!!!!

It's funny, but I also add in "thanks" and that sort of thing when dealing with the AI

Cool!

damn this was so good that t-shirt changed 3 times

Can you please make a follow up video making scripts for Premiere Pro please - I'm massively struggling with that and this was so well explained! Thank you

Nice video dude.

ChatGPT always tells me its at capacity and to go away and come back some other day - but I liked this concept and channel - subbed it up!

Amazinggg @@

This is incredible! Where did you get KBar 4 though? I'm only seeing KBar 3.

I've had good results asking for an after effects expression instead of a script!

I typed in the same prompt as you did word for word and it gave me a slightly different script that also had credits in it for a Dan Ebberts and Dan Stevers, so that's fun.

It blows my mind, that you can sweet talk and argue with the bot, to get it to do things it says it can't do. "Can you put these into a table for me"... "I'm a language model, no"... "But you've done it before".... "Oh yeah, my bad, here's your table".

tysm for this video

This is sad and amazing.

I appreciate thanks m8

This is mind - blowing ! Thank you for sharing this gem Nick 😄 What are your thoughts on BlueWillow? I have been looking into this new ai tool and I must say, I am really curious to learn more. It would be amazing if you could share a video on it next. I believe I can learn a lot from you

funny and educational. nice video

that is a game changer! 🤯

Very cool! Thanks for the scripts! The grid one should be exceedingly useful for me :)

I'm a Motion Designer but I'm fairly comfortable with coding, I can't write scripts as fast as ChatGPT but even though it is a very powerful tool, rare is the case where someone will use to create a custom script to use on a new project more often you can use scripts that are already writen or use a more convenient method (e.g: for the alignment thing you could just align the assets in Illustrator if no fancy grid animations are needed) overall I believe it's a very promising tool with a very promising future but as of now I wouldn't call it gamechanger (at least for use Designers/Animators), plus it lacks the hability to work with other types of coding like 3D geometry and vector illustration

ChatGPT excels in many programming languages but I'm not sure about the visual programming languages. Would be cool to have ChatGPT help create a DLL or an API or anything like that. ChatGPT is built from code, and it knows code well.

Thank u

@1:45 an easier way to run the script is just to paste it into notepad and save as a .jsx ;)

The future of computing is looking more and more like Celery Man every single day.

Ahahhhhh I was using that to build blender phyton code as well! Well Done! (p.s. looks like the product on gumroad is empty for some reason)

My mind is blown.

Lmao! This guy is dope! Dig how he speaks to the viewers

Man, as a motion designer for 12 years, this is mind boggling. Thanks for sharing this tip with us. PS: I tried some expressions (including a simple countdown and a bounce one) and they both worked like a charm right in the first try.

Found some cute bugs: Ringo- The layers aren't parented to the null with all the sliders on it. When you try to parent it- all layers sway to the side. Especially critical with "Ringo" which now only scatters layers around it, but you can't rotate them around this null or any other null. Waver- if you add an adjustment layer[ say, with posterize time on it]- the script counts it as a layer and changes the animation. Gotta precomp dat sh*t and then it's ok. Proximo- Wonder how easy it would be to feed the code of this one, and tell ChatGPT to let that Null influence scale of these layers instead of that "Push distance". Ctrl+Z to undo the script- goes step by step within how the code was written, instead of just undoing the whole process in a single Ctrl+Z. Again, very impressive!

Huh that's great I used it to make some blender add-ons too lol

thanks!

I work as a motion graphics artist and i did used chatgpt on my last project

Hey, that's my boss!

With the hype of ChatGPT I was thinking of using it to produce scripts but too lazy to act and not knowing JS? enough. Thanks to you, we have some people in action. I have another question; Is that a Gif frame? Did you make it or buy it? From where? Looks so cool.

Did you let your shirt change by AI in the process too? I'mma rewatch all this later. Saved to my favs folder, thanks man! Cheers from Haarlem (Netherlands)

I wouldn’t pay a dime if anything is replicable 😜 To be honest as a coder I loved the way it enhanced my coding process, thinking with it about problems, refactoring and optimizing the code to keep it readable and secure, it’s really like having the dumb doer but it’s fast and accurate enough if you keep on giving feedbacks, enough to have a better help than google on any flow we might work on. Great stuff, game changing for sure, but a lot of inexperienced people i see are expecting full automatization of life. 😅 who is more dumb? People today or AI?

Everyone, make sure you have a diverse set of skills for backup. AI is exciting but also terrifying. It will move at breakneck speed.

bro stop that is so beautfiule

@motionbynick This sctipting stuff is great, but I wonder if ChatGPT could re-write After Effects to be more stable, efficient and just better all over? That would be most helpful! Look out @Adobe, you have be warned!

Super dope vid. Also, about halfway in I noticed the music was mine lol. Enjoy the StreamBeats, my friend ✌🏼

This video utilizing ChatGPT to create After Effects scripts is impressive. The integration of the language model allows for the efficient generation of complex animations and visual effects, saving a significant amount of time and effort for the user. The instructions provided in the video are clear and easy to follow, making it accessible for users of all skill levels. Overall, the use of ChatGPT in this context is a valuable tool for any video editor or animator looking to streamline their workflow and add professional-grade effects to their projects.

This video changes my workflow totally. Will it make me lazier .. Yes !!! but it will make me more efficient as well

Great tutorial! Im glad you are sharing this.... but Just wait until they start charging you for it...what will people do once they are fully dependent?

I would love similar tutorial for Davinci Resolve😁👌

Definitely trying this in Nuke!

The way I figure it is you still did work getting the AI to create the script the way you wanted it to. If you saved me time, you saved me money, therefore you deserve to get paid for your work. I've tried using ChatGPT to make AE expressions and scripts and figuring out the right way to work with it to get what you want and work around the bugs involves a lot of iterating and testing.

good vid

OMG I just used Chat GPT to shop for motion plugins... had no damn idea I could use it to animate from the jump hahahaha

Congrats, you are a dev now 😂 That's exactly how a developer workflow looks like!

Can I save the code to the Text app in Mac OS? I tried that and ran it from AE under File>Run Script File and I keep getting an error. "Unable to execute script at line 1. thisComp is undefined." What am I doing wrong?

Wanna try it so bad 😮

geniooo

can i do it in photoshop?

cool

"says he can't, gives attitude, then does it anyway". Lol, yeah, same experience here.

I have created a single cartoon in adobe animate... It was a success. I was working on a second episode, but got artists block or artists fatigue. Is there any way to finish it off by artificial means? That being, take my existing models and have AI animate the rest for me? I've already got storyboard for several episodes, I just don't want to do the manual labor of having them completed.

LMAO the future is going to be crazy.

AI is only as good as the people it’s mimicking. People are so afraid that AI will completely take over but I highly doubt that. As a freelance digital artist myself, I’m not worried. AI empowers people like this guy to do even better work than before because he’s getting to spend less time looking for solutions other people have made or making it himself.

I also had some fun playing around, but unfortunately i couldn't get in chatGPT for days now as its always out of capacity :(

I'm surprised chatgpt didn't tell you there's already a built in align tool.

i am impressed an afraid in the same way. as long as there i no law to label ai generated content it will be impossible to make the decision if you want to use it or not. other than that, i think we will run into various copyright issues very soon. if you use something that is not generated by you - how can you be sure where the ai has taken it from?
