General Usage [AESD CEP EXTENSION] [AFTER EFFECTS]

General Usage for After Diffusion!

General Notes

• The CEP Extension is designed to take up as little space as possible and be integrated seamlessly into your existing UI. I have mine set up above the timeline, and within the panel containing my project assets.

• The CEP Extension uses a python back-end. You'll need to make sure you have python installed and added to your system's path.

• The CEP Extension has quite a bit of error-handling. If you're not getting any errors, but things aren't working, it's probably an issue with python, or webUI.

  • When there are errors, most of them will tell you what caused it and you can easily fix it. On occasion, you may have a Javascript Error Telling you to check the console. This is the console log file for the extension that is output to your temp directory.

Design

• The Extension is designed to fit the color scheme of the native AE host app. The loading bars, button presses, etc; are all fairly close to the standard UI, which makes it fit in really well.

• In Order from Left to Right you have the following buttons;

1. Add Effect/Override Settings

• If you have a solid Layer Selected, then select your comp, and press this button, it will resize/set-up your project for using the smaller portion of a larger image.

• This button also gives you access to the controlnet overrides, which is useful for cases where you might have models/preprocessors that aren't listed in the custom effect.

2. Folders

• This button opens the 'Grid Editor,' where you can create grids of your frames for generation to help with temporal coherence.

Initial State	Confirming Grid

3. Models

• Shows all of your SD Models click on one to change to it.

4. Prompts [Self Explanatory]

5. Seeds

• '-1' by default, change seed here, reset, or get seed from other generations.

6. Settings

• Will have more in the future, currently only used to change webUI URL.

7. Generate [Self Explanatory]

• The Extension features a custom loading bar, which will appear and dynamically change behind the buttons when you start a generation.
