AE Agent 2.0

Using the panel

How to get the most out of AE Agent 2.0.

Ask for something

Write what you want and press Enter. The line under the chat shows what the agent is doing: thinking, running a step or waiting for you. You can stop it at any time with the Stop button.

Approvals

Before deleting, saving, replacing or running code, the panel shows a card with what the agent is about to do. You can allow it once, allow it for the whole request («yes to all of this request») or refuse. Code that touches files or programs always asks again, even if you allowed code for the session.

Chat and Agent

Use Chat to ask, understand and plan; use Agent to make the change. Each answer carries an icon of the mode it came from (speech bubble = Chat, bolt = Agent).

Script library

When the agent runs code for you, you can save it to the library. From the Library screen run it again, edit its name, export your collection to a file or import one.

What it sees

The chip above the message box shows what the agent sees now: the active composition and the selected layers. Select what you want before asking and the agent will use it.

Examples

• «Add a 1-second fade-in to every text layer»
• «Tidy the project: group the footage into folders and delete what is unused»
• «Animate this title so it types in, then add a glow»

Language

The panel speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. Change it in Settings.
