Create Custom After Effects Plugins with ChatGPT (No Code) | ChatGPT | After Effects
Build your first After Effects plugin—even if you can’t code. In this class, you’ll use ChatGPT to create a custom tool, install it as a dockable panel, and launch a plugin you can reuse in your projects.
You’ll learn how plugins fit into real workflows, why they save time and money, and how to turn one idea into a practical textures plugin. Then you’ll install it correctly on Mac and Windows, pin it in your workspace, and study a real creator example to see what’s possible. Finally, you’ll build and launch your own plugin in a guided capstone project.
No fluff, no jargon—just the exact prompts, files, and steps you need.
By the end, you’ll have a working After Effects plugin, installed as a panel, plus the skills to build more whenever you need them.
