A Rust motion-graphics and compositing app recreating After Effects-style layers, keyframes, effects and rendering workflows. The upstream README explicitly targets Adobe After Effects workflows and describes a separate Rust implementation. Source review does not establish clean-room legality or full behavioral parity; no REA involvement is claimed by this listing. The reviewed README says AEP/AEPX import and After Effects plug-ins are unsupported. Render equivalence is not established and the author does not recommend replacing client-work workflows yet. We have not installed, run or audited it.
