The Power CLI extends MographJailed from observing After Effects projects to rendering, checking, searching and packaging After Effects and Cinema 4D work. Progress is tracked in the GitHub milestones; the full plan is docs/PLAN_AE_C4D_POWER_CLI.md in the repo.
Targets: After Effects 2024+ and Cinema 4D 2024+ (Redshift and Physical), macOS Sequoia and newer, one workstation, no network, no sudo.
| Milestone | What shipped |
|---|---|
| Frame tools |
loop.seams, golden.record, golden.check → Frame Tools
|
| Protect work | audit log + audit.verify, project.restore, deps.graph, handoff.package → Protect Work
|
| Shell front end |
mj command, completion, recipes → mj Command
|
| Search and presets |
index.*, preset.* → Search and Audits
|
| Hosts and rendering |
host.detect, ae.render, c4d.render, receipts → Rendering
|
| Live progress and notifications | Per-frame render progress, mj notify, mj status, optional SwiftBar plugin → Dashboard
|
| Terminal experience | Launch screen (mj) and live dashboard (mj ui) → Dashboard
|
| Review backlog | Issues #1–#33: guard + CI, --help, error reference, real warnings, --request -, doctor guidance, project.diff, project.health, teaching lint, mj explain, config file, completions, human commands, snapshot hooks, checked installer → mj Command, Error Codes
|
| Project audits |
trace.asset, audit.plugins, normalized store tables → Search and Audits
|
| Milestone | Planned |
|---|---|
| Real-host qualification | Run ae.render and c4d.render on a real project/scene on the workstation (needs C4D licensing configured once by hand) |
| Diffs and batches |
project.diff, c4d.diff, folder-wide recipes, .c4d save watcher |
| C4D scene intelligence | Headless c4d.inspect / c4d.lint / c4d.package, Redshift-aware checks |
| AE/C4D bridge |
bridge.check, multi-pass export, AE comp from passes |
- Running a script through
aerender(it only renders; scripting needs After Effects itself). - SQLite on a network share (WAL is unsafe there; use one local store per machine and share receipts).
- Network-connected review syncing inside this tool (it would need outbound access and a third-party SDK; a separate connected tool could write a read-only database for this one to read).
