The Problem
After Effects wasn't built for text management.
If you've ever had to change a word across 50 text layers, you already know the pain.
🔎
No Spell Check
After Effects has zero built-in spell checking. You're left to proofread every text layer one at a time, clicking through comps, hoping you didn't miss a typo.
✓ TextPilot: Full spell check with 50+ languages
📁
Text Buried in Precomps
Your project has 12 precomps nested 3 levels deep. Finding that one line of copy means diving through comp after comp until you track it down.
✓ TextPilot: Scans ALL comps automatically
🌍
Localization Nightmare
Client wants the same project in English, French, and Spanish? That's 3x the manual work. Change every layer, save a copy, change them again.
✓ TextPilot: Translate + save language versions
