Export: Adobe After Effects (.jsx)

Export animated cameras, lights, images, other object locations and tracking markers from Blender to Adobe After Effects.

Usage

Exporting from Blender

Activate the extension by going to the Extensions section of the user preferences, search for “After” and click the check box to the left of the result.

The exporter is then available from the File Menu (F4), Export, Adobe After Effects (.jsx). Select the file name and options, and hit the “Export to Adobe After Effects” button.

You can also set up an exporter from the collection properties.

Importing into After Effects

The generated file is an ExtendScript file that can be loaded into After Effects. To import the scene, you can open After Effects and go to the File menu, Scripts, Run Script File... and select the .jsx file. This will prompt you for a composition name and create it, with the cameras and objects set up.
