Why we like it

aiVideoGen earns its place in the aescripts library by wiring After Effects straight into Replicate's video models, so text-to-video and image-to-video clips land in the active comp without a separate download step.

What is aiVideoGen?

aiVideoGen links After Effects directly to Replicate's video models, among them Kling 2.1 and Master, Bytedance Seedance 1 Pro, Google Veo-3 Fast, MiniMax hailuo-02, and PixVerse v5. Both text-to-video and image-to-video generation run from a single panel inside the app.

Generated clips are downloaded, saved, and placed into the active composition, scaled and centered, so you don't leave After Effects to bring footage in. A one-click stage snapshot works as an image reference across models, and MiniMax Hailuo-02, PixVerse v5, and WAN 2.2 Fast can take a first frame and last frame captured from your timeline.

Controls for aspect ratio, duration, resolution, and quality adjust per model, and a built-in cost estimator reports figures by model. Links handle Replicate visits and API-key management, while alerts flag sensitive or E005 blocks and insufficient credits. A demo video is available.

Who is aiVideoGen best for?

Frequently asked questions

Does aiVideoGen work with After Effects 2026 and 2025?

aiVideoGen supports Adobe After Effects 2026 and 2025 on macOS or Windows, with the developer listing version 25 or later as the minimum. Text-to-video and image-to-video generation both happen in a single panel, and generated clips download and drop into the active composition, scaled and centered, without leaving After Effects. The 1.46 update from January 2026 also addressed stability issues for Windows users, so recent versions of the app are the intended target for the plugin.

What do I need to use aiVideoGen?

aiVideoGen requires an internet connection and a Replicate API key, since it connects After Effects to Replicate's video models. You set up the key and purchase tokens at Replicate.com, and the panel includes a Visit Replicate link along with API-key management links to help with that. A built-in cost estimator reports figures by model before you generate, and friendly alerts flag insufficient credits as well as sensitive or E005 blocks so you know why a request didn't go through.

Is aiVideoGen free to use?

aiVideoGen is listed as free in this catalog, so check the developer's page for current licensing details. Note that generation itself relies on Replicate: you need a Replicate API key and purchased tokens, and the models are billed through that service rather than the plugin. The built-in cost estimator reports figures by model, and the panel warns you when credits are insufficient, so you can gauge usage before running a generation from within After Effects.

Which models support first-frame and last-frame input in aiVideoGen?

aiVideoGen lets you set a first frame and last frame from your timeline using a stage snapshot as an image reference, and this works for MiniMax Hailuo-02, PixVerse v5, and WAN 2.2 Fast only. The one-click stage snapshot itself works across models as an image reference, but the paired first-and-last-frame input is limited to those three models. Controls for aspect ratio, duration, resolution, and quality also adjust per model, so the available options vary depending on which video model you pick.
