Arsaze for After Effects is a panel that lets your AI build motion inside your open After Effects project while you watch. It adds layers, keyframes, effects, captions and camera moves, every change is a single Ctrl+Z, and cuts and renders move both ways between Arsaze and After Effects. Version 1.0.0 Beta was released in October 2026 for Windows and After Effects 2021 or newer.

What the panel does
- Works inside the project you already have open, with a live view of what is happening.
- Motion design: animation, effects, camera moves, kinetic type, motion graphics and tracked motion.
- Sends a cut from Arsaze to After Effects as a composition, with its media, captions and markers.
- Brings a render back into Arsaze as a clip and a saved version you can review.
You stay in control
Each AI action is one Ctrl+Z. Before it changes a saved project, a restore point is saved. You can pause or stop between steps, and anything beyond a normal edit, such as reaching files on your computer, waits for your approval in the panel before it runs.

What to expect from a beta
- macOS is not part of this beta.
- When a cut moves to After Effects, generated scenes, color and shape clips, keyframed transforms, grades, effects, masks, transitions and speed ramps are not carried over yet. Arsaze lists what was skipped.
- A restore point needs a saved project. For an unsaved one the panel asks before it continues.
