Vibe coding for After Effects is one of the most powerful skills motion designers can learn right now.
In this video, I’ll show you how to start building custom After Effects scripts with AI, even if you’ve never written a line of code (like me). I’ve spent the last three years using tools like ChatGPT, Claude Code, and Gemini to build real After Effects scripts and extensions, including Railcut, and I’ve learned a lot about what actually works and what causes AI to generate broken, unusable code.
These ten tips will help you avoid some of the lessons I had to learn the hard way while building my own tools. You'll learn how to talk to AI like a director, how to plan your script before asking for code, how to avoid common After Effects scripting mistakes, and how to debug your tools when something goes wrong.
If you’ve tried AI coding before and got frustrated, this is a much better way to approach it. You don’t need to become a developer; you just need to learn how to direct one.
