Chatty is a version 1.0.0 initial release compatible with six After Effects versions from 2021 through 2026, and it earns its spot in the aescripts library as a focused option for building messaging-style sequences without leaving After Effects.
Chatty is a chat-based content creation tool that runs inside After Effects. It lets you build animated chat conversations that can include text, emojis, media, audio, and avatars, with customizable styles applied to the result.
The tool covers a range of chat-driven output. On the social side, it handles chat-style videos for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, along with explainers, UI storytelling, and stylized social content. For film, TV, and advertising, it produces fake phone screens, chat overlays, and green screen inserts. It is also aimed at fast prototyping of chat-based visuals, so you can rough out a sequence without leaving After Effects.
Chatty is at version 1.0.0, its initial release from June 2026, and is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. A demo video is available, and the plugin is listed here as free. It sits in the aescripts library as an option for motion designers who work with messaging-style layouts.
