Reimplements Adobe After Effects-style layer compositing, keyframe animation, motion graphics and effects in an open-source application.

Built-in Lottie interchange, readable JSON projects and scripting/MCP control.
What you can use today
v0.18.0 provides desktop installers/archives and a web build. Updates docked panels and composition tabs and fixes focused-text editing and menu behavior. Alpha: suitable for experimenting with animation and compositing, not client delivery. Proprietary project formats and After Effects SDK plug-ins are unsupported. Rendering checks focus on small compositions; macOS is the most-tested platform. RemakeList has not installed or fully tested it.
