The panel, in context.

After Effects Hub docked inside AE — showing the module picker, the progress state, and results landing on the timeline. This is what motion designers see when they open it.

The Hub panel docked in After Effects. The module grid lives in AE's panel column, adjacent to native panels like Essential Graphics. Selection state, progress, and results are all managed without leaving the host app.
Panel module picker
Module picker
10 modules, one surface

Image, video, audio, and copywriting modules are categorised in a single scrollable panel. The selected layer scopes which modules are available.

Processing state
Progress inline, not in a dialog

The panel shows a live progress bar and status label while the AI module runs. AE remains fully responsive — the designer can keep editing other layers.

Result placement
New layer, auto-placed on the timeline

When the module completes, the result appears as a named layer in the active comp — at the correct in/out point, above the source. No re-import required.

All 10 modules, at a glance.

Every module routes a different AI capability through the same panel interface — same selection model, same progress state, same result-as-layer convention.
