Run the bridge test effects script to verify communication and apply test effects

Remove one specific effect (or all effects) from a layer.

Add a marker to a layer or composition at a specified time. Markers can include a comment, label color, chapter name, URL and duration.

Set the audio levels (in dB) for an audio or AV layer. Supports per-channel control and optional keyframing.

Get audio metadata, source file path, existing markers, and audio level keyframes for a layer in After Effects.

Analyze a WAV audio file to extract waveform amplitude data and detect peaks/transients. First call get-audio-info to retrieve the sourceFilePath, then pass it here. Returns normalized amplitude values (0-1) at evenly spaced time intervals plus an array of peak times where transients are detected.

Add multiple layer or composition markers at once. Use this after analyze-audio-waveform to place markers at detected peaks, or to add any set of markers in a single call.

Audit an After Effects composition for Lottie compatibility. Scans for unsupported raster effects (Wave Warp, Turbulent Displace, blurs, glows), unbaked/risky expressions (sourceRectAtTime, valueAtTime, wiggle), unconverted text layers, vector footage (AI/EPS), 3D switches, merge paths, and adjustment layers.

Restructure and compile an After Effects composition to make it 100% Lottie-compliant. Clones the composition safely to [CompName]_LottieReady, auto-bakes expressions into discrete keyframes (resolving sourceRectAtTime/valueAtTime/wiggle runtime errors), converts text and vector footage to native shape layers, flattens 3D switches, and strips unsupported raster effects.

Export an After Effects composition directly into a production-ready Lottie JSON animation file.

Add named interactive state markers to an After Effects composition timeline for dotLottie interactive playback (e.g. idle, hover, active, exit). Supports presets: 'button_toggle', 'hover_loop', 'toggle_switch' or custom state definitions.

Extract After Effects timeline markers and compile a complete dotLottie Interactivity Specification (state machine with onClick, onMouseEnter, onMouseLeave, onComplete, and conditionals).

Export an After Effects composition directly into a standard .lottie (dotLottie) ZIP container file containing the Lottie animation JSON, manifest.json, and interactive state machine (states/interactivity.json).
