Requires After Effects 27+ running on your computer. Cloud delivery keeps your build queue available between sessions.

Your After Effects connection

Setup guide

Connect once. Keep creating.

Install the SkyX panel

The signed customer installer is not yet available. Development builds can be loaded through Adobe UXP Developer Tool; customer downloads will appear here after release verification.

Connect your computer

Open SkyX Motion Director in After Effects. Choose SkyX Cloud, request a code, and enter it above while signed in.

Build and refine

Create a production plan in Motion Studio, choose your computer, and send the build. Enable auto-build in the panel or start it manually. Follow progress in SkyX.

What stays editable

Each scene gets its own composition, assembled into a master timeline. Text and background layers stay native. Imported media, timing, position, opacity, and camera-style motion can be adjusted by your designer.

Choose the right workflow

Use Motion Studio for cloud pairing, brand direction, and build progress. Local MCP integration is available for developers using a compatible desktop AI client and the SkyX bridge. A public hosted MCP connector is not available yet.

Before you send a build

Does After Effects need to stay open?

Yes. The SkyX panel receives the cloud job and builds the project inside your Adobe installation. Offline jobs wait in the queue.

Can I use multiple computers?

Yes. Connect each installation, then select the destination computer in Motion Studio. Disconnect an installation here when you no longer need it.

Is a finished video rendered in the cloud?

This workflow creates editable compositions on your connected computer. Render and save the final project in After Effects.
