The SEEN platform employs its own proprietary, world-class rendering engine, instead of using AErenderer in After Effects. As a result, this means that when you deliver us an After Effects project, it must adhere to a designated set of effects for "variable" elements (such as personalised text altered by data points). We've curated a specific collection of these effects for your convenience. Refer to the list below. If an effect is not included, it's presently unsupported.

Download the guide as an AEP.

❌ = Feature is not supported.

Animating via keyframes is possible for the properties below:

✅ Anchor Point.

✅ Position

✅ Position - Separate Dimensions.

✅ Scale.

✅ Rotation.

✅ Orientation.

✅ 3D XYZ Rotation.

✅ Opacity.

✅ All Temporal Interpolation & Spatial Interpolation (Linear, Bezier, Continuous Bezier, Auto Bezier, Hold) with Easy Ease, Easy Ease In, Easy Ease Out and handle animation in the Graph Editor.

Range selector available for all of them.

✅ Mocha/Mocha Pro can be used to track, but the tracking data must be exported as a Corner Pin.

❌ We cannot use Power Mesh in Mocha Pro for tracking on cloth materials, because it can not be exported as Corner Pin.

✅ Mesh Warp is supported.

✅ Mesh Warp points can be animated.

✅ Corner Pin is highly recommended over the use of a 3D Camera for tracking. Corner Pin usually provides the best results in our campaigns.

✅ Animating all four corners.

NB - Cannot be placed on same layer as Corner Pin or Power Pin Tracking. Tracked layer must be pre-comped before applying effect.

¹ If strokes are present with motion blur it will not look the same as in AE. If only stroke is present and no fill, then it is fine.

² Can be set on shape group level, not shape layer level, and group opacities won’t add up together.

³ One stroke and fill is supported per shape, and only in the leaf objects in groups.

⁴ Video layers can’t have starting points before the composition’s own starting point.

⁵ If you are using alpha matte, use black & white luma matte for mp4 files.
