Tesseract × After Effects
Bring an After Effects composition into Tesseract for agent-led revisions, or try exporting a Tesseract project as a new editable After Effects project.
Use the project-conversion workflow in the current Tesseract skill. Check that the converter is available in this environment and follow the skill’s installation instructions if needed. Ask whether I want to bring a Premiere Pro or After Effects project into Tesseract, or export a Tesseract project to one of those formats. Identify the required project, media, and fonts. Keep the original intact and explain the supported features and conversion limitations before proceeding.
After Effects import: partial · best effort. Export: experimental · partial. Check compatibility
Supported elements stay editable. Keep the source project and review the converted result.
Start from an existing composition, or hand agent-created work to an editor.
After Effects → Tesseract
Share the .aep file and its media. Ask your agent to inspect the compositions and import the one you choose. Supported layers and properties transfer into Tesseract so you can preview the result and direct revisions.
Import · Partial · best effortTesseract → After Effects
Ask your agent to export a new .aep project from the editable Tesseract source. This export is experimental. Open it in After Effects and check the layers, timing, and appearance before using it in production.
Export · Experimental · partialSupported composition structure, layers, text, shapes, keyframes, masks, and effects have partial mappings. Full expression behavior, third-party plugins, cameras, lights, and visual parity are not guaranteed.
Import centers on a selected composition and its supported dependencies. It does not preserve every composition, setting, or piece of application state in the original file.
Only mapped features transfer. The converter is not a general After Effects expression runtime. Review masks, mattes, adjustment layers, effects, and text particularly carefully.
After Effects export defaults to 24 FPS unless an output frame rate is selected. Specify it and review animation timing in the converted composition.
Install or update Tesseract in your agent. Use the project-conversion workflow in the current skill; it supplies the converter setup instructions for that environment.
If your agent cannot find the workflow, check that its Tesseract plugin or skills are up to date. Find your setup guide.
Share the editable source, linked footage, audio, images, and required fonts. Ask your agent to identify missing media before converting. Keep an untouched original.
Identify the sequence or composition and the destination format. Ask your agent to follow the Tesseract skill’s converter workflow and report unsupported elements.
Check the converted project in the destination application. Compare key frames and a full preview, including the audio. Continue editing once the result is ready.
Attach your project and assets, then adapt one of these prompts to your composition.
Use Tesseract to inspect this After Effects project and list its compositions and required media. Ask me which composition to import. Keep the original intact. Explain which layers, effects, and expressions may not transfer, then convert the selected composition into an editable Tesseract project. Render preview frames and a draft video before we revise it.
Use Tesseract’s experimental After Effects export to create a new .aep file from this project. Confirm the composition and output frame rate first. Keep the Tesseract source, identify required media and fonts, and summarize any approximated or unsupported elements. Give me a checklist for reviewing the result in After Effects.
Open-source converters
The converters are a first pass. Report a reproducible issue, contribute a format mapping, or add a test. The converter code is open source under the MIT license.
Use the current Tesseract plugin or skills in your supported agent environment. Ask your agent to follow the project-conversion workflow. It checks the required converter setup and works with the files you provide. The open-source converter repository is for technical details, issue reports, and contributions; you do not need to clone it to use the workflow.
These workflows convert project structure between .tsrct, .prproj, and .aep. Supported elements stay editable in the destination project. Unsupported elements may be approximated or omitted, and some inputs may fail conversion. Export an MP4 separately when you need a finished video.
Not necessarily. Support is partial, and After Effects export is experimental. Fonts, text layout, effects, interpolation, and media handling can differ. Keep the original project, review conversion warnings, and compare previews in the destination application.
Yes. A project file can reference assets stored elsewhere. Make the required footage, images, audio, and fonts available to the agent and the destination application. Do not assume conversion embeds, collects, or transcodes all media automatically.
The supported directions connect Tesseract with Premiere Pro or After Effects. Direct Premiere Pro-to-After Effects conversion is not supported. Exporting back from Tesseract creates a new Adobe project rather than restoring the original file’s complete state.
Professional creative tools for your AI agent.
Free on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Your agent’s costs are separate.
Set up Tesseract by Mirage so you can create editable designs, edit videos, and make motion graphics in this agent’s environment. Read https://github.com/mirage-hq/Tesseract and check the requirements for this local or hosted environment. If it is supported, follow the official plugin or skills installation guide, use its required runtime version, verify the download checksum, and confirm a short preview renders correctly. Then ask what I want to make and which brand references or source assets I have. Keep the editable project and source assets with the finished render.
