◆ Adobe After Effects

Integrate After Effects with other applications

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

Export the 'Infographic Animation' as a transparent ProRes 4444 file, ready for the editor to drop into the final cut in Premiere Pro.

Before I send this character animation to the sound designer, make sure all the key actions are marked with clear labels. Also, create a clean export of the animation with an alpha channel, optimized for their use in DaVinci Resolve.

The client just sent a revised script for the voiceover on the 'Corporate Explainer,' but the new timing doesn't match my existing animation, and I'm worried about manually re-timing everything.
The client just sent a revised script for the voiceover on the 'Corporate Explainer,' but the new timing doesn't match my existing animation. I'm afraid of manually re-timing every scene and losing the flow, especially with the tight deadline. What's the best way to quickly adjust my animation to match the new voiceover timing without rebuilding it from scratch, so it still feels natural and polished?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Adobe After Effects's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
