Tools

Things I’ve built to make post-production faster. They started as fixes on my own jobs and grew from there. Neither is a public download yet, so tell me a bit about what you’re working on and I’ll send it over.

Both tools are in alpha. Download and use them at your own risk. I’m actively taking feedback and making improvements, and I’m specifically looking for Windows users to help test.

DIT Media-Prep Toolkit

Tested command-line tools and a written playbook for the unglamorous half of post: working out what you were actually handed, fixing it without wrecking it, and proving the fix held. It’s built to hand to an AI coding assistant like Claude Code, so the assistant can run the workflows with you.

  • 27 Python scripts for profiling footage, color-tag forensics, VFR to CFR conforms, HDR to SDR conversion and delivery encodes
  • Premiere Pro helpers for webinar ISO reassembly, edits built from written notes, take-by-take stringouts and two-camera synced rough cuts
  • A playbook and tooling reference distilled from real jobs, mistakes included
  • Non-destructive by default, with a verification step for every change

Verified on macOS 14 and macOS 26 only. Needs ffmpeg 8, MediaInfo and Python 3.9 or newer. Whisper powers the transcription tools.

After Effects

After Effects MCP Bridge

Drive After Effects from Claude. A small panel runs inside After Effects and an MCP server passes commands through, so you can describe what you want in plain language and get back what actually landed in the comp.

  • Over a hundred commands: read a project, build comps, layers, shapes and text, and write keyframes and expressions
  • Batch changes across many layers or comps in a single undo step
  • A dry run before anything that removes, moves or replaces
  • Render inside After Effects, or in the background while you keep working

Tested on After Effects 2025 and 2026. Verified on macOS 14 and macOS 26 only. Needs Node.js 20 or newer and Claude Code. Built on Dakkshin’s open-source after-effects-mcp.
