How close EffectCraft is to After Effects 2026, feature by feature, and how much work is left.
## Current status (audit at commit `978e8d7`, 3 October 2026)
## Current status (audit at commit `58163a2`, 3 October 2026, evening)
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| **Feature parity, weighted by tier** (P0 ×3, P1 ×2, P2 ×1) | **≈ 94%** counting every partial feature as half done; ≈ 98% using per-feature fractions |
| Unweighted | ≈ 94% (half-credit) / 98% (fractions) |

| Features done / partial / missing | 80 / 12 / 0 of 92 |

| Disabled menu entries left | 0 (the stub list is empty) |
| Remaining work | ≈ 19–22 agent-hours at the pace measured so far (≈ 58 on the conservative audit scale) |
| **Wall-clock estimate** | **≈ 4–5 hours** with five agents in parallel; ≈ 3 hours for 100% of P0 + P1 |

| **Effects** | **306** effects (all After Effects 2026 effects), every one implemented in full ([effects.md](effects.md)); 166 run on the GPU |
| Disabled menu entries left | 1, on purpose: Import ▸ Vanishing Point (.vpe), whose format has no public specification |
| Remaining work | ≈ 9–11 agent-hours at the pace measured so far (≈ 29 on the conservative audit scale); ≈ 6–7 without the learned-model items |
| **Wall-clock estimate** | **≈ 2–2.5 hours** with five agents in parallel; ≈ 1.5 hours for 100% of P0 + P1 |
Partial features: GPU coverage (Advanced 3D, more GPU effects), the web app (GPU effects and
the disk cache in the browser; M13.10 moved viewer frames and Roto Brush off the page's thread), Essential Graphics mirrored properties, and the learned-model quality
of Roto Brush and face tracking (both are classical). Since this audit, M9.13 completed all 42
simplified effects, M13.5 added the Learn panel, and M13.8 the Preview panel settings, Align to
Selection / Distribute and Advanced 3D iris DOF, collapsed precomps and extruded strokes. M13.7 added ScriptUI resource strings,
`onDraw` (ScriptUIGraphics draw lists), live `onChanging`, `Socket`, the Essential Graphics
scripting hooks and Font / uniform Scale controls, and the last missing menu items: Save Frame As ▸
Photoshop Layers / ProEXR, Composition ▸ Open in Essential Graphics, File ▸ Watch Folder,
Window ▸ Create Nulls From Paths / VR Comp Editor (built-in panels) and Help ▸ In-App / Online
Tutorials. File ▸ Import ▸ Vanishing Point (.vpe) is present but permanently disabled: the format
has no public specification, so a clean-room implementation is not possible (its tooltip says so).
Partial features:
| id | Tier | Done | What is missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| EFF-5 GPU effects | P1 | 0.85 | GPU kernels for the CC light / transition families, Numbers and Timecode, 3D Channel, the VR family, OCIO / LUT, Time effects and the simulations; Advanced 3D runs with blend modes, track mattes or environment backgrounds composite on the CPU |
| WEB-1 Web app | P0 | 0.9 | GPU effects in the browser (needs WebGPU in the render workers or async readback), a disk cache in browser storage (OPFS), a storage manager, threads inside one engine instance |
| UI-7 Home screen | P1 | 0.95 | A "start from a template" gallery |
| MSK-4 Roto Brush | P2 | 0.85 | Segmentation is classical (graph cut + optical flow), not a learned model |
| TRK-3 Face tracking | P2 | 0.9 | Classical fitter: weak on profile and occluded faces; Rolling Shutter Ripple is approximated |
Since the previous audit, M9.13 completed all 42 simplified effects; M13.4 added HEVC and AV1
export and Opus SILK / hybrid; M13.5 the Learn tab and Extended Viewer; M13.6 and M13.12 text,
images, shadings and transparency groups in PDF/AI/EPS import, variable fonts and PSD warps;
M13.7 ScriptUI resource strings, `onDraw` and `Socket`, Essential Graphics scripting hooks and
the last menu items; M13.8 the Preview panel, Align to Selection / Distribute and Advanced 3D
iris depth of field, collapsed precomps and extruded strokes; M13.9 and M13.13 107 more GPU
effects, a texture pool and per-comp CPU/GPU choice; M13.10 render workers in the browser and
visual editors for curves and palettes; M13.11 Advanced 3D on the GPU and Essential Graphics
mirrors; M13.14–M13.20 puppet pin editing and rigging; M13.15 end-to-end tests through MCP and
the CLI; M13.21 lazy project open, virtualised panels, background auto-save and an audit that
every command is reachable over MCP, the control channel and the CLI.
Out of clean-room scope (no public specification or no permissively licensed data): `.jsxbin`,
Vanishing Point `.vpe`, the predefined CJK CMaps in PDF import, Kodak film emulations. Adobe
service integrations (Team Projects, Libraries, Media Encoder, Dynamic Link, Frame.io, Exchange)
and third-party plug-ins (Cinema 4D, Mocha) are intentionally absent.

## Update: M13.25 Home template gallery, Simulate Output ▸ My Custom RGB
**Home ▸ Templates** (UI-7; File ▸ New ▸ New Project from Template…): a gallery of eight
original built-in project templates authored in code from engine commands — Lower Third, Title
Card, Logo Reveal, Kinetic Type, Social Square 1080×1080, Vertical 9:16 Story, Slideshow and 3D
Text Orbit — each with Essential Graphics controls on its main comp and a thumbnail rendered by
our own renderer the first time the gallery shows it. **File ▸ Save as Template…** writes the
open project as an `.ectemplate` (the open template container: `manifest.json` with
`kind: "project"`, `project.ecproj`, `poster.png`, `thumb.txt`) into the config Templates
folder (in the browser: the settings store); the gallery lists built-in and user templates,
user cards can be deleted, and opening any template makes an untitled copy. Commands:
`templates.list`, `templates.thumbnail`, `templates.create`, `templates.saveAs`,
`templates.delete`, `file.newFromTemplate`; automation ids `home.tab.templates`,
`home.templates.<id>` / `.open` / `.delete`, `home.templates.saveCurrent`. Not yet: footage
used by a saved template is referenced by path, not embedded.
**View ▸ Simulate Output ▸ My Custom RGB…**: a dialog defines a custom output device by
primaries and white point (CIE xy) and a gamma or the sRGB curve, or reads them from an RGB
matrix/TRC ICC profile (v2/v4: colorants, `wtpt`, `chad`, `curv`/`para` tone curves; table and
parametric curves are fitted to a gamma unless they are the sRGB curve); the definition is kept
in Settings (`customRgb`) and simulated like the built-in profiles, with Preserve RGB
(`view.customRgb`, `view.simulateOutput {profile: "myCustom"}`). Generic dialog forms now register
`form.field.<key>`, `form.ok` and `form.cancel` automation ids. Not yet: LUT-based (`A2B0`)
ICC profiles.
