MANUAL / SCRIPTING & EXPRESSIONS

Convert AE Script…

Rewrites an After Effects script for Brio Script, checks it on the open comp and saves it to your Scripts folder.

What it does

File ▸ Scripts ▸ Convert AE Script… reads an After Effects script, has Claude rewrite it to use what Brio Script supports, then runs Brio's check on the open comp without changing anything. You review the result and save it into your Scripts folder.

How to use it

  1. Choose File ▸ Scripts ▸ Convert AE Script… and pick a .jsx or .js file. (Also offered in the Script Console under a failed run.)
  2. Wait while it converts — it can take a minute. #include / //@include files next to the script are read in with it.
  3. If the first conversion doesn't pass Brio's check, Brio asks for one repair pass automatically.
  4. Read the report and the check line:
  5. "Checked on the open comp: it runs, and would make N changes. Nothing was changed."
  6. or "Brio's check on the open comp: … You can still save it and edit it."
  7. Edit the converted script in the text box if you like.
  8. Click Save to Scripts, or Save & Run.
