Localize a motion piece in After Effects
Your assistant duplicates the composition for each language, swaps every text layer for the translation you give it, refits sizes so longer lines still sit inside the safe margins, and exports a check frame per language.
The prompt
Edit it before you copy. Nothing runs until you send it in your assistant.
