Why we like it

Claude Scripter earns its place in the aescripts library by handling ExtendScript from natural-language prompts and covering multiple LLM providers, plus local and offline use. Broad After Effects support, from CC 2018 through 2026, adds to its reach.

What is Claude Scripter?

Claude Scripter is an AI-powered scripting assistant for Adobe After Effects. It generates, executes, and saves ExtendScript (JSX) code from natural-language prompts, drawing on a range of LLM models so you can describe what you need in plain language rather than writing the code by hand.

Beyond generating scripts, Claude Scripter lets you edit existing ones through both manual code editing and AI-assisted editing. Its cloud model support spans Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT, and xAI Grok, with local model support and offline use available. A script library keeps your generated code on hand, and AI edit diff highlighting marks changed lines so you can review edits before applying them.

Version 1.2.3 runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2018. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

Which AI models can Claude Scripter use?

Claude Scripter works with a range of LLM models rather than a single provider. Cloud support covers Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT, and xAI Grok, and the 1.2.3 update added support for newer models across those providers. It also offers local model support and offline use, so you can pick the model that suits your task or API preference. The developer's page lists the specific models currently available.

Can Claude Scripter edit existing scripts?

Claude Scripter can edit existing scripts as well as generate new ones. It offers both manual code editing and AI-assisted editing, so you can refine code yourself or ask the AI to make changes. When editing with AI, diff highlighting marks the changed lines clearly, letting you review what was altered before applying the edits. Generated scripts are also kept in a library for reuse.

Does Claude Scripter work offline?

Claude Scripter includes local model support and offline use, alongside its cloud-based options such as Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT, and xAI Grok. A built-in script library stores your generated code so it stays accessible for reuse. For the specifics of which features run locally versus which rely on a cloud API and an internet connection, the developer's page is the best place to confirm before you set up your workflow.

Is Claude Scripter free to use?

Claude Scripter is listed as free in this catalog. Since licensing terms and any usage conditions can change, the developer's page is the place to confirm current details before downloading. Claude Scripter also connects to LLM providers such as Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI, so check the developer's page for how model access and any API requirements are handled for the cloud options.
