How Project Bifrost works

1. Download the Windows installer from the site (Mac coming soon).
2. Install, open After Effects, and open the Project Bifrost panel.
3. Sign in and subscribe on projectbifrost.app, copy your licence key, then paste it on the Home tab and Activate.
4. AI features use included monthly credits — pick a Realm to match how demanding the brief is.

Flagship co-pilot inside the panel. You describe the work; Bifrost inspects the project, proposes a plan, and waits — nothing lands in AE until you approve.

How it works

1. Open the AI tab and write what you want (cleanup, rewrite text, swap assets, expressions, layouts, and more).
2. Optionally tap Enhance to tighten the prompt.
3. Generate — Bifrost proposes a plan of changes.
4. Review, then Apply. Use Undo if needed.
5. Auto-repair can request a fix plan if something fails.

Realms

Three bridges across the Bifrost — Midgard is the default for most jobs:

• Midgard — everyday default, lowest credit draw (text only — no images)
• Jotunheim — high reasoning with vision (maps & references)
• Asgard — flagship, hardest briefs

Included with every Solo and Team plan. Lets you work with an open After Effects session from outside the panel — inspect the project and apply changes through the MCP bridge, using the same licence key you activate on Home.

How it works

1. Activate your Solo or Team licence on the Home tab (MCP is bundled — no addon).
2. Look for the MCP badge on that licence in the dashboard.
3. Start the agent bridge in the panel AI tab while After Effects is running.
4. Connect from Cursor, Claude, or any MCP client with the token shown there.
5. Stop the bridge when finished.

Space text layers and nested comps evenly across the active composition — built for title rows, lower thirds, and stage layouts.

How it works

1. Select layers in order, or select nothing to auto-find text layers.
2. Choose Horizontal or Vertical; set edge offsets (Left / Right / Up / Down).
3. Options: Text smart (size from largest text, including nested comps), Auto-fit, Sort by position, and Fill from one (shallow-copy enough layers to fill from a single selection).

Build LED tile layouts, stage screen maps, 360 wraps, and 5-wall 3D rooms for show packages.

How it works

1. Set shared naming for the screens you're building.
2. Choose layout type: tiles from counts or totals, stage map, 360 wrap, or 5-wall room.
3. Generate comps and guides suited to LED and stage workflows.

Drop framed camera-feed placeholders into the active comp for multi-cam show packages.

How it works

1. Open the Camera tab.
2. Configure the feed placeholder.
3. Generate into the active composition for multi-cam layouts.

Deep or shared full-structure duplicates of selected comps — parallel versions of a package without manually cloning every precomp.

How it works

1. Select comps in the Project panel.
2. Choose deep vs shared behaviour.
3. Optionally exclude items by name (e.g. Global_Colors).
4. Run Duplicate full structure.

Render MOV from After Effects, then encode HAP / HAP Alpha / HAP Q for playback systems.

How it works

1. Select comps in the Project panel.
2. Choose an output folder.
3. Pick format (HAP / HAP Alpha / HAP Q), compressor, chunks, audio, optional scale, 25 fps, keep MOV, and overwrite.
4. Run — AE writes MOV, then HAP encodes those files into the same folder.

Tip: keep MOV on for easier re-encode; 25 fps is common for show playback.

• Mass font converter — change fonts by AE PostScript name across selected layers, the active comp, or the whole project.
• Comp duration / Comp FPS — update selected comps quickly for show rates (e.g. 25 fps).

• Activate your licence on the Home tab. The panel soft-rechecks while you work.
• Check for updates from Home — downloads come from projectbifrost.app.
