What's new

Premiere MCP — new `--doctor` command (`npx @synthetic-ai/premiere-mcp --doctor`): before opening a ticket, run this — it checks your setup in seconds (Node version, Premiere Pro detected, license validated live, bridge permissions) and tells you what might be wrong. If you still need help, paste the output into your ticket so we can get straight to the problem. Auto-updates via npx, nothing to reinstall.

Premiere MCP — the server now requires a valid license to use its tools, same as After Effects MCP and Photoshop MCP (previously nothing was enforced server-side). Also fixes macOS default preset paths for create_sequence and related tools.

The dashboard panel is now fully usable from a phone.

Sign-in: if the magic link doesn't open in the same browser you requested it from, you can now use the numeric code that comes in the same email.

The personalized installer at /dashboard/downloads now correctly configures the Photoshop MCP license (previously generated but never written to the config).

Synthetic Labs — a new section for the data and AI tools Synthetic publishes on Apify (finance, sports, voice), ready to connect to your own agent.

Soy Sophie — another Synthetic project, now with its own page.

Photoshop MCP — new product in the works. 409 tools (layers, text, masks, filters, adjustments, smart objects, vector shapes, export), CEP panel with auto-update and licensing. Finishing pricing and distribution — available soon.

AE Agent, After Effects MCP, Premiere MCP, and AutoEdit Pro — the panel's auto-update never actually finished applying (it failed downloading the file). Fixed and verified end to end.

AE Agent, Premiere MCP, and AutoEdit Pro — in-panel auto-update, same as the After Effects MCP: a heads-up when a new version ships, one click to install.

AE Agent — from 50+ to 200+ tools, now on par with the After Effects MCP.

After Effects MCP v2.4.0 — In-panel auto-update. When After Effects starts, the panel checks for a newer version and shows an 'Update now' banner. It verifies SHA256 for each file, backs up before overwriting, and rolls back if anything fails. Covers main.js / ae-bridge.jsx / index.html updates (95% of fixes). Rare structural changes (new manifest) still need a fresh .zxp. Re-install the v2.4.0 panel from /dashboard/downloads once to activate the feature; after that, no more manual download-and-install trips.

After Effects MCP v2.3.0 — Panel mode fix: the bridge now honors the server's per-call timeout (was hardcoded at 25s inside the panel) and the server tolerates both the old and new panel response shapes. Heavy ops (frame rate on 100+ comps via panel) finish without being cut. Server v2.3.0 auto-updates via npx; to unlock the per-call configurable timeout, re-install the signed .zxp from /dashboard/downloads (new version 2.3.0).

After Effects MCP v2.2.1 — Critical install fix: the 'npx @synthetic-ai/ae-mcp' command shown in docs and the dashboard now works end-to-end. The package didn't declare an executable binary, so MCP clients reported 'Server disconnected' on install. Fixed by declaring the bin. Anyone on 2.2.0 with a manual workaround (pointing node at dist/server.mjs) can revert to the standard command.

After Effects MCP v2.2.0 — Learning loop. The MCP now journals the JSX snippets you repeat the most, and you (or Claude) can promote them into brand-new tools with their own schema — no rebuild, no AE restart. Each customer ends up with an MCP shaped to their workflow. Full docs at /docs/ae-mcp/learning-loop.

Also includes a critical fix: published v2.0.0 and v2.1.0 npm tarballs were missing files and failed to load on clean installs. Updating via npx resolves it automatically.

After Effects MCP v2.1.0 — heavy operations (frame rate changes across dozens of comps, batch renders) no longer freeze the server or cascade after a timeout. Async AfterFX.exe spawn, non-blocking script lock. Auto-updates via npx — new clients receive the fixed version on next launch.

AutoEdit Pro — now available. CEP panel that automates Premiere Pro editing: remove gaps, snap and sort clips, mark cuts, change speed, remove silence and batch-process. Free, no subscription.

Premiere Pro MCP — now live. AI control over sequences, clips, color grading and audio mixing from $15/mo.

DaVinci Resolve MCP — in development. Timeline editing, Fusion compositor, color grading and audio post.

Synthetic is now live — buy, activate and manage your After Effects MCP license from synthetic.com.ar.

Monthly ($15/mo) and annual ($120/yr) plans available. License key delivered instantly after purchase.

User dashboard to view and copy your license keys, manage billing and see activation history.

AE Agent is live — a chat panel that lives inside After Effects with 50+ pre-built tools. $29 one-time.

Two modes: Agent runs tools in your project; Chat is read-only for questions, expressions and advice.

Use Claude, GPT, Gemini or local models (Ollama / LM Studio). Connect with an API key, your existing AI subscription via the official CLI, or a local model — no extra per-token cost.

Unified model picker grouped by source, live token & cost estimate, one-click copy for any reply or code block, and a local library for AI-written scripts.

Self-correcting tool loop, faster reloads, and a Stop button to cancel a running request.

220+ tools covering the full After Effects workflow — compositions, layers, text, shapes, effects, keyframes, expressions, render queue, cameras, lights, masks and project management.

Compatible with After Effects CS6 through 2026. ExtendScript-based — no extra plugins, no CEP panels required.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, and any MCP-compatible AI client.

Keyframe tools: add, copy, reverse, ease, hold, roving, spatial tangents, audio keyframes and expression baking.

Render queue: add comps, apply render templates, set output modules and paths, start/cancel renders, validate output.

Camera & lights: create cameras with depth of field, focus distance and aperture. Full light layer support (ambient, spot, point, parallel).

Batch operations: rename layers in bulk, replace text across multiple comps, apply effects to entire selections, set transforms at once.

MOGRT support: export Motion Graphics Templates, add/remove properties, rename controllers, set values.

Track mattes, frame blending, time remapping, comp and layer markers, mask path keyframes.
