Guide title
EffectCraft v0.19.0: install, first composition to render, MCP and CLI control, documented failure cases
Coverage
For motion-graphics users and agent builders looking at the open-source EffectCraft compositor. It summarises what its docs say about installing, making a first composition, rendering, agent control and two known problems. Read from docs only at one commit; the user pages were last verified at 0.9.2 and the project is alpha.
Useful starting points
- Only some render formats keep transparency (ProRes, uncompressed QuickTime, PNG sequence); H.264, HEVC, AV1 and JPEG sequences cannot store alpha.
- On some Windows 11 NVIDIA PCs the GPU compositor failed on DirectX 12 and fell back to CPU; the docs point to the System Compatibility Report.
- After Effects project files cannot be opened in EffectCraft and After Effects plug-ins do not run in it.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
