v1.3.0 — Conversational AI + UX Overhaul

What's New in v1.3.0

Multi-Turn Conversation

• AI remembers your conversation — say "now make it bounce" or "change the color to red" and the AI has full context of what it just generated
• Configurable conversation memory (default: 6 turns) in Settings
• Works across all providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini)

Undo Fix + Undo Button

• Fixed: AI no longer generates nested undo groups that broke Cmd+Z
• New: Contextual "Undo" button appears after each successful script execution
• One-click undo directly from the panel

Explain This

• "?" button on every code block sends the script to AI for a plain-English explanation
• Great for learning ExtendScript — understand what the generated code does

Chat Commands

• /clear — Clear chat history and start fresh
• /undo — Undo last script in After Effects
• /help — Show all commands and tips
• /context — Show current composition context
• /kb — Show knowledge base stats

Comp Context Preview

• New info bar between model selector and chat shows what comp data the AI sees
• Click to expand and see the full context being sent

Onboarding

• Welcome screen for first-time users with setup instructions
• 3 clickable example prompts to get started immediately
• Auto-detects API key status

Bug Fix

• Fixed race condition where Refine and Run could interfere with each other's system prompts

Install

Download AE_Conjure_v1.3.0.zxp and install with ZXP Installer or ExManCmd.

Requires After Effects 2018 (v15.0) or later.

v1.2.0 — RAG Knowledge Base + UX Polish

What's New in v1.2.0

RAG Knowledge Base

• 234 API atoms covering all major ExtendScript classes (Application, Project, CompItem, AVLayer, TextLayer, ShapeLayer, Property, Layer, CameraLayer, LightLayer, and more)
• 26 canonical recipes for common After Effects scripting patterns
• 25 gotchas documenting ExtendScript-specific pitfalls and workarounds
• Keyword-based retrieval injects only the most relevant context (~400 tokens) into each AI request
• Corpus auto-downloads from GitHub on first use, cached locally at ~/ae-conjure/

UX Improvements (since v1.1.1)

• Styled tooltips on all interactive elements with consistent dark theme
• Prompt templates — browse common AE scripting tasks from the hamburger menu
• Contextual hints — smart suggestions appear based on what you type
• AI Smart Refine — sparkle button rewrites vague prompts into precise instructions
• Collapsible code blocks — generated scripts collapse by default, click to expand

Install

Download AE_Conjure_v1.2.0.zxp and install with ZXP Installer or ExManCmd.

Requires After Effects 2018 (v15.0) or later.

v1.1.1 — Undo Fix

What's Fixed

• Undo now works per-request — Each script execution gets a unique undo group label (e.g., "AE Conjure: Create a new layer"). Previously, all executions shared the same label, causing Cmd+Z to undo all changes at once instead of just the last script.

Install

Download ae-conjure-v1.1.1.zxp and install with ZXP Installer or Anastasiy's Extension Manager. Overwrites previous versions. Your API keys are preserved.

v1.1.0 — Provider/Model Routing Fix

What's Fixed

• Provider/model mismatch — Switching providers (e.g., Anthropic → Google) now correctly updates the model. Previously, the stored model ID could be sent to the wrong API (e.g., Claude model ID sent to Google's API), causing 404 errors.
• Stale settings on init — Panel now syncs persisted settings to match the actual dropdown state on load, preventing leftover mismatches from previous sessions.

Install

Download ae-conjure-v1.1.0.zxp and install with ZXP Installer or Anastasiy's Extension Manager.

Or copy the source to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/ae-conjure/.
