AE Sheets V1.1.1 for After Effects

The Ultimate AI-Powered Video Localization and Text Management Tool

Download AE Sheets V1.1.1 today. Consequently, you can translate, manage, and generate multiple language versions of your After Effects projects directly from a single, spreadsheet-style interface . Because motion designers and video editors frequently need to deliver content for global audiences, having access to an efficient localization tool is absolutely essential. Nevertheless, creating multiple language versions manually — duplicating compositions, translating text layers, adjusting fonts, and re-rigging layouts — can consume days of production time. Fortunately, AE Sheets eliminates this bottleneck completely. Moreover, it connects your After Effects project to a spreadsheet-like panel where you can manage translations, create language versions, and generate localized compositions all in one place . In short, you can deliver multilingual videos with unprecedented speed and consistency.

AI-Powered Translation with Google Gemini and OpenAI Integration

The core of this plugin lies in its intelligent translation engine. For instance, you can automatically translate every text layer in your project by simply providing a Google Gemini or OpenAI API key . The system handles the entire process — no more copy-pasting into Google Translate. Additionally, the Layers Panel indexes every text layer in your After Effects project . You can assign the same index to multiple layers so they update simultaneously, translate with AI directly in the panel, export and import translations via TSV, and generate final compositions with a single click .

Smart Rigging Tools for Responsive Layouts

One of the most frustrating aspects of video localization is dealing with text that overflows when translated into longer languages. Therefore, AE Sheets includes a comprehensive Rigging Panel with three powerful tools designed to solve this problem . For example, Auto Resize constrains text layers to a maximum width or height, scaling the font size down when translations overflow. The Dynamic Anchor Point locks the expansion direction of a text layer so it doesn’t drift when content changes. Additionally, Pinning creates reference points on any edge or corner of a text layer that other layers can be parented to, keeping icons, boxes, and arrows attached as text grows or shrinks . Thus, your motion design stays pixel-perfect regardless of translation length.

Language Presets and Font Mapping

Consistency across languages is crucial for professional localization. Consequently, AE Sheets ships with 64 built-in language presets spanning major global markets and regional variants . Each preset allows you to set font family, font size (absolute or relative), leading, tracking, and right-to-left text flow for scripts like Arabic and Hebrew . Furthermore, the Font Mapping feature lets you map individual source fonts to language-specific replacements — keeping your bold, regular, and italic hierarchy intact when swapping to Chinese, Arabic, Devanagari, or any other script . You can create multiple Font Map sets for different language groups and assign them to any language preset.

Batch Processing and Spreadsheet Integration

For projects requiring dozens of language versions, efficiency is paramount. Therefore, AE Sheets includes powerful batch processing capabilities. You can select multiple target languages, hit create, and let the plugin duplicate, rename, translate, and restyle every composition in one batch — turning hours of manual localization into seconds . Additionally, the spreadsheet integration allows you to export your text to TSV, edit in Excel or Google Sheets with your translators, and import back seamlessly . The plugin also supports direct copy-paste to spreadsheets, making collaboration with translation teams effortless .

Version Management and Comprehensive Controls

Managing multiple versions of a video can quickly become chaotic. Therefore, AE Sheets provides comprehensive version management tools . You can create and manage multiple language versions of your video from a single panel, configure per-version composition naming, folder grouping, and find-and-replace rules . Only shared nested compositions that don’t contain changing text are duplicated, keeping your project file lean and manageable . Thus, you maintain complete control over your multilingual production workflow.

Free Trial with Full Feature Access

AE Sheets offers a generous free trial with no license key required . Every feature is fully unlocked so you can test the complete workflow before purchasing. The only restriction is on composition generation — trial users can duplicate up to 10 compositions, which gives you enough room to test the full end-to-end workflow from indexing to translation to generation .

Perfect for Motion Designers, Video Editors, and Studios

This plugin is particularly well-suited for motion designers and video editors who regularly deliver content in multiple languages — whether localizing social media ads, corporate videos, or broadcast content . Similarly, studios managing large multilingual projects will appreciate the batch processing and spreadsheet integration for collaborating with translators. Additionally, anyone who has ever manually duplicated compositions and copied text layers will find AE Sheets transforms their workflow. Ultimately, this plugin accelerates your entire post-production and localization pipeline.

System Requirements and Compatibility

AE Sheets requires After Effects 2024 or later and is fully compatible with both Windows and macOS . It supports After Effects 2026, 2025, and 2024. AI features require a Google Gemini or OpenAI API key .
