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 UA-cam a few weeks ago but I was not able to find anyone doing with GPT. I guess UA-cam recommend me your video because of that so this is another example that your video was actually recommended in UA-cam from a search from more than a month ago. Great video
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
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.
@@NotASpyReally Hello! As an AI language model, I don't have a personality in the way that humans do, but I do have certain patterns and styles of writing that can be recognized by people who are familiar with my language patterns. My training data consists of vast amounts of text written by humans, so my responses reflect the patterns and structures of human language. While I don't have a personality in the traditional sense, my responses can sometimes be characterized as informative, neutral, and helpful. I'm glad that you were able to recognize my language patterns in the video review, and I hope that it was useful to you. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to ask!
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!
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".
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.
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.
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
@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!
hell yes. just fix the underlying code to bring back stability, where it isn't introducing new toys and creating new bugs, without ever fixing previous bugs
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.
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!
@@BretonBrander Thank you for supplying the term. Much appreciated. An update to Proximo - I managed to convert Nick's original script so the null now scales layers up and down as it passes through them. Problem is- some layers base scale is 35%, and some are 5% - and the force that is applied by that Null influences the 5% scaled layers much more - so they grow bigger than other layers. I tried to normalize the effect on all layers, and that's where chatGPT became drunk. Many synatx errors, forgets semi-colin, more errors. Just can't solve this code. So, you gotta know coding to help it. Very frustrating, as you are in the dark about this. +Also, as I don't know coding - I ask chatGPT to rewrite the code fully again, cause It's harder to know what chunks are needed to replace when fixing bugs, so it takes time for it to rewrite it + plus, it gets cut off in the middle of the code sometimes. What I did manage to do is create falloff controls [as slider controllers] so the Null would gradually influence layers in it's proximity, and that was pretty cool.
@@eladbari the obvious solution to the base scale inconsistency is to plan properly, because these issues crop up even without scripts & expressions. So make sure all the layers are the same scale by either precomposing each layer, or prepping graphics assets at a consistent scale before import.
@@johnnyc.31 You're totally right. I did think about it, yet, I wanted the script itself to act smarter, or just save time (or just not cause problems in case I am working with different sizes of layers). Therefore, I was pretty sure this could be a very basic issue to solve, as in- not basing the scaling on percentage from the affected layer, but rather on a numerical number. Say, letting that Null object just add a value of +5 to each layer's scale. But, I guess "Scale" is not a numerial number like position, and it is based on percentage, therefore, I have no clue if this is indeed solvable. All I know is that there are at least 2 scripts that do pull this off, so there must be a way: 1. Swiss knife 2. Motion 4 And btw, both I think are buggy doing this. I tried using Swiss Knife for that, and It uses another adjustment/null layer which causes issues if I also wanna move the affected layer, and not just let it stay and be influenced by Proximity of that Null.
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!
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?
The AI said initially that it can't write scripts but here is an example, which suggests it's just a script that it's found somewhere not a custom written one so i'd be worried about copyright of any scripts GPT gives you
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.
That’s too funny! Dan is well known in the ExtendScript community for being very helpful & responsive on forum boards… guess we know where chatGPT got its material from
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)
You asked if I would pay for a script knowing it was AI generated. Yes. The original concepts were yours. You spent time with AI creating, debugging, testing and refining. That deserves a reward in my opinion. You were just using a tool to perform a job better/faster. I was disappointed about the AE expressions not being good. They are the bane of my life and I agree - the documentation is almost non-existent. I have no Java experience, but at least I know C++ so can understand, but syntax????
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.
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.
Personally, my attempt was to make an analog of Pathfinder from Adobe Illustrator. Of course, ChatGPT wouldn't understand what I want from it if I asked to write a script containing absolutely all Pathfinder functions, so I decided to make each function a separate script. By first asking ChatGPT to describe the "Divide" function in detail, and then write a script. After 25-30 attempts to write a script, it failed, and I did not get the expected result. The script always gave an error, ChatGPT updated its code, taking into account these errors, but it still didn't help. If someone suddenly reads this comment and manages to do something similar, let me know! Thanks for the video!
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
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?
@@motionbynick They do mention in their FAQ and other places that it is free while it's in it's "research period" I hope that a FOSS solution for text generation will be created at some point, similar to what Stability did with Stable Diffusion (and theres other FOSS image genrators too)
Awesome video! I think I would pay for a script generated by AI. The initial prompt the idea that the prompt inspired is what I'd be buying. For example, your grid script is something I'd throw money at. Its a simple idea but one that would save me a lot of time. However, I didn't come up with it, you did - and asked the AI (just like you probably would have asked a developer a few years ago) to create it. You still went through the troubleshooting bits to refine it and present it to the world as a working script, which is time and potentially money spent on your part - all the while saving ME time. :-) So yea, I think its totally worth paying for an AI generated script if its something I deem worth getting. I've been using ChatGPT to help me with python in Blender. I too know little to nothing of coding, but I can explain what I need help with. With ChatGPT, I have an expert(?) on hand that can interpret my "explanation" of what I need done, whenever I need help with automating something. And as in your video, if the first iteration fails or gets it partially right, then I can ask it to try again, but with more input. Bottom line, its still a hammer - and the hammer can't use itself...yet ;-)
I think the idea to use ChatGPT if you are a begginner, is not that bad if you used it to understand things that are difficult to understand at the beggining, but just for understanding, not for making the work for you and copy, paste, and thas it.
I wonder why would it not be good if you could just copy/paste and that's it. There is a difference between understanding something and being able to produce the said thing. I can understand what the code is about but could never code it so making ChatGPT do it for me (us?) wouldn't be a bad thing. People are so sensitive about things....
@@tgty5519 blind faith towards code is a security & legal issue. Your ignorance does not make others "sensitive about things" a negative. Always review code and understand enough to at minimum identify suspicious code or have a human expert do it. It's like blindly running a random script you find online in some forums for your OS or any software that interacts with your computer. chatgpt etc are not some trusted friend: it gets thier dataset from the internet the same forums you would never use code from and gives you no guarantees.
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
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.
Weirdly my grid isn't right. I have about 30 layers and they all line up correctly but lets say I have 3 columns, the first 2 spaces are blank, the 3rd space on the first line has a design on it and then everything else there after is correct. I wonder why my script isn't putting these designs in the first "slot"... Hmmmm
True true! was mainly a joke haha. I used ChatGPT to give me some speck project ideas, its a cool tool! I also saw some one use it to refine their resume.
To answer the question, yes, I'd pay. Some of my ChatGPT expressions and scripts required a few minutes to a half hour of back and forth, as well as a little bit of cleanup by hand. I assume it's the same for others. I don't care much HOW someone made something versus WHAT was made.
i like how you say in the beginnig: "you can download all the scripts I made for free" .....who made them tho actually? Didn't the AI do the work? This is already getting interesting imo
Lol your narration. Can the AI make Python scripts for Blender (does it understand Python)? I dont know anything about Blender scripts except that it uses a Py file. And I need a script that repeats a task/steps to Pose specific bones by specific amounts.
It has a tendency to extremely overcomplicate things, i.e I had it make a cooldown timer for a function which it gave me 4 functions for at 40ish lines, which I could simplify to 5. Its a bit dumb, but it useful for proof of concepts
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?
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!
Are you going to try making scripts using ChatGPT?
I’ve been doing nothing else the last couple of weeks! It is just mindblowing! At this point, it replaces google search for solving any AE problems I run into.
I have been using it for a while now, not specifically for AE, but at one point I did give it a few puzzles to solve.
I asked it to do things like create an expression that produces a wiggle effect without using the wiggle keyword.
At the moment, I'm using it to create an app in Python with next to no experience in coding... It's really a marvel. I'm not looking forward to when it stops being free... haha.
i like to make scripts but i can't join because i live in iran !!!
yes ! i actually was doing it till your video popped up in my recommendations and i said I am not alone lol! but yours is way better i will do more
Yes! But its frustrating sometimes when it makes mistakes over and over again and then lies about correcting the issue.
This is absolutely wild, I never would've thought to have it write AE scripts....time for some animation!

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
Nice time saver!
You are a badass Nick, thanks for sharing this!
set the speed to 1.25x, thank me later
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
This video changes my workflow totally. Will it make me lazier .. Yes !!! but it will make me more efficient as well
hahahaha thats literally what developing is like. 100%
Dude !!!! You are a Beast! RESPECT 👊
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?
the silicon valley special
@@motionbynick They do mention in their FAQ and other places that it is free while it's in it's "research period"
I hope that a FOSS solution for text generation will be created at some point, similar to what Stability did with Stable Diffusion (and theres other FOSS image genrators too)
Are we are entering the age of The Great Dumbing Down...?
Amazing and thank you for sharing!
Very cool! Thanks for the scripts! The grid one should be exceedingly useful for me :)
Congrats, you are a dev now 😂 That's exactly how a developer workflow looks like!
Amazing video!
I think to pay for need a basic good interface.
good experimentation
Awesome video! I think I would pay for a script generated by AI. The initial prompt the idea that the prompt inspired is what I'd be buying. For example, your grid script is something I'd throw money at. Its a simple idea but one that would save me a lot of time. However, I didn't come up with it, you did - and asked the AI (just like you probably would have asked a developer a few years ago) to create it. You still went through the troubleshooting bits to refine it and present it to the world as a working script, which is time and potentially money spent on your part - all the while saving ME time. :-) So yea, I think its totally worth paying for an AI generated script if its something I deem worth getting.
I've been using ChatGPT to help me with python in Blender. I too know little to nothing of coding, but I can explain what I need help with. With ChatGPT, I have an expert(?) on hand that can interpret my "explanation" of what I need done, whenever I need help with automating something. And as in your video, if the first iteration fails or gets it partially right, then I can ask it to try again, but with more input.
Bottom line, its still a hammer - and the hammer can't use itself...yet ;-)
well said
Thanks for sharing this!!
I think the idea to use ChatGPT if you are a begginner, is not that bad if you used it to understand things that are difficult to understand at the beggining, but just for understanding, not for making the work for you and copy, paste, and thas it.
I wonder why would it not be good if you could just copy/paste and that's it.
There is a difference between understanding something and being able to produce the said thing.
I can understand what the code is about but could never code it so making ChatGPT do it for me (us?) wouldn't be a bad thing.
People are so sensitive about things....
@@tgty5519 blind faith towards code is a security & legal issue. Your ignorance does not make others "sensitive about things" a negative.
Always review code and understand enough to at minimum identify suspicious code or have a human expert do it.
It's like blindly running a random script you find online in some forums for your OS or any software that interacts with your computer.
chatgpt etc are not some trusted friend: it gets thier dataset from the internet the same forums you would never use code from and gives you no guarantees.
Love it! Nice work
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
that is a game changer! 🤯
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.
Excellent, as always.
Weirdly my grid isn't right. I have about 30 layers and they all line up correctly but lets say I have 3 columns, the first 2 spaces are blank, the 3rd space on the first line has a design on it and then everything else there after is correct. I wonder why my script isn't putting these designs in the first "slot"... Hmmmm
It's the way the "column" works. When I change from 3 to -3, the columns rearrange where i only have 1 negative space and it's center bottom.
I'm surprised chatgpt didn't tell you there's already a built in align tool.
there's an align tool, but no adjustable grid tool!
True true! was mainly a joke haha. I used ChatGPT to give me some speck project ideas, its a cool tool! I also saw some one use it to refine their resume.
tysm for this video
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)
Thanks for letting me know. Updated.
@@motionbynick thank you for the video and the scripts! ✨
To answer the question, yes, I'd pay. Some of my ChatGPT expressions and scripts required a few minutes to a half hour of back and forth, as well as a little bit of cleanup by hand. I assume it's the same for others. I don't care much HOW someone made something versus WHAT was made.
AMAAAAAZIING !!! ❤❤
"If you'e an idiot, you can even go pay for them"
...yer killing me man.
pay up
funny and educational. nice video
i like how you say in the beginnig: "you can download all the scripts I made for free" .....who made them tho actually? Didn't the AI do the work? This is already getting interesting imo
Curious? Does your scripts also contain the Prompts you've used?
Huh that's great
I used it to make some blender add-ons too lol
Thx for the great video 🎉
And for the scripts ❤
Damn a really good video! Great looking tools as well.
we're probably going to see a lot of new stuff on aescripts
Lol your narration. Can the AI make Python scripts for Blender (does it understand Python)? I dont know anything about Blender scripts except that it uses a Py file. And I need a script that repeats a task/steps to Pose specific bones by specific amounts.
great shit man!
It has a tendency to extremely overcomplicate things, i.e I had it make a cooldown timer for a function which it gave me 4 functions for at 40ish lines, which I could simplify to 5. Its a bit dumb, but it useful for proof of concepts
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?
LMAO the future is going to be crazy.
Definitely trying this in Nuke!
Nice video dude.
Holy grail!
My mind is blown.
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!
It’s called Neo Brutalism if I am right. Used by Gumroad, Figma and recently by Google.
Maybe I'm being dumb here but what exactly did I see? Was these buttons designed for a website not sure what I saw.
