Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) sits at rank 83 in the blender_extensions library and holds a 5.0 rating across 15 reviews. It earns its place as a focused bridge for getting Blender camera and object animation into After Effects, maintained by Les Fées Spéciales.
Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) is a Blender add-on that moves scene data into Adobe After Effects. It exports animated cameras, lights, images, other object locations and tracking markers, writing them to an ExtendScript (.jsx) file.
Once enabled from the Extensions section of Blender's preferences, the exporter appears in the File menu under Export, Adobe After Effects (.jsx). You choose a file name and options, then run the export. An exporter can also be set up from the collection properties. The generated .jsx file loads into After Effects through the Scripts, Run Script File command, which prompts for a composition name and builds it with the cameras and objects in place.
Originally written by Bartek Skorupa with contributions from several developers, the add-on is now maintained by Les Fées Spéciales. It carries a 5.0 rating across 15 reviews and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later.
Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) is best for blender artists moving animated camera and object data into Adobe After Effects.
Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) is completely free to download and use.
Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on current long-term-support releases and later versions. Once you enable it from the Extensions section of the user preferences by searching for "After" and ticking the checkbox, the exporter becomes available in the File menu. For versions older than 4.2, check the developer's page, since the listed compatibility begins at Blender 4.2 LTS.
Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) installs like other Blender extensions. You can drag and drop it into Blender or download it and use Install from Disk. To activate it, open the Extensions section of the user preferences, search for "After", and click the checkbox beside the result. After that, the exporter shows up in the File menu under Export, Adobe After Effects (.jsx), where you set a file name and options before exporting.
Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) generates an ExtendScript file rather than importing directly. To bring it into After Effects, open the application, go to the File menu, choose Scripts, then Run Script File, and select the .jsx file. After Effects prompts you for a composition name and creates that composition with the cameras and objects set up. This handles the animated cameras, lights, images, object locations and tracking markers exported from Blender.
Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx) is listed here as free, and it is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. You can get it by dragging and dropping it into Blender or downloading and installing from disk. For the latest licensing terms and any changes, check the developer's page. The current release listed is version 0.2.1, maintained by Les Fées Spéciales.
