What PluginLab already does for you.
The PluginLab prompt makes Claude Code follow these rules. Your plugin is built to respect them, with nothing for you to set up.
Looks like your app
A compact panel in the colors of After Effects or Premiere Pro, light or dark.
Neat at any size
Narrow or extra wide, the panel adapts: nothing cut off, nothing stretched.
Easy to undo
In After Effects, a single Ctrl+Z reverts the whole action. In Premiere Pro, the sequence is backed up before any change (on by default).
Windows, Mac, any language
It also works in After Effects or Premiere Pro set to French, German or Japanese.
From 2023 to today
Made for every version from 2023 to the latest, without getting in the way of your other extensions.
Ready for your aescripts page
Panel, manual and product page in English, no Adobe logo, and a spot ready for the aescripts license.
The golden rule: nothing should look like AI.
This is our number one tip. Even if AI helped you, everything should look thought out and made with care, by you.
The plugin.
A clean panel, like Adobe's own tools. No gradients, no emoji, no “futuristic” look.
The texts.
Reread the product page and the manual, then rewrite them in your own words. Short sentences and real examples, no big empty words.
The images.
Real screenshots of your plugin in After Effects or Premiere Pro. No AI-made pictures.
The main image of your product.
It's the thumbnail people see in the store and at the top of your page. aescripts gives it no official name, at least none we could find.
The simple recipe:
- A black background.
- The plugin name, on the left.
- Right under it, what it does, in one line.
- On the right, a screenshot of the plugin's interface.
