Effect > Perspective > 3D Camera Tracker (Shot Type, Horizontal Angle of View, Show/Render Track Points, Track Point Size, Target Size, Advanced: Solve Method, Method Used, Average Error, Detailed Analysis, Auto-delete Points Across Time, Hide Warning Banner); tracks and solve stored in the effect with keys (frame edits re-track, setting / deleted-point edits only re-solve). Background job (Analyzing in background (step 1 of 2) / Solving camera banner, cancel, one undo step). Commands: track.camera (replaces the stub), camera.analyze/cancel/solveStatus/points/selectPoints/ createFromSolve/create/setGroundPlane/deletePoints; the one-node 3D Tracker Camera keyed per frame and text / solids / nulls / shadow catcher + light on the target plane, Create Multiple. Viewer: depth-sized coloured targets, hover target plane, click / shift / marquee selection, AE right-click menu, Delete; Effect Controls Analyze / Cancel / Create Camera; Tracker panel Track Camera. Solver: adaptive noise thresholds, denser keyframes, quick tripod check, faster Cholesky and parallel Schur complement. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Roadmap
EffectCraft aims to do what After Effects does, with the same panels, menus and behaviour, written from scratch in Rust. This is where it stands. The milestones overlap; several are worked on at once.
| Milestone | State | |
|---|---|---|
| M0 | Skeleton: crates, compositor, the After Effects style shell, control channel, cargo xtask |
Done (web build: docs/web.md) |
| M1 | Keyframes: temporal and spatial interpolation, Easy Ease, roving, velocity | Done |
| M2 | Compositing: 38 blend modes, track mattes, parenting, adjustment layers | Done |
| M3 | Project operations: settings dialogs, layer commands, .ecproj, undo, After Effects menu bar |
Mostly done |
| M4 | Preview: precomps, motion blur, cached playback | Mostly done |
| M5 | Timeline depth: graph editor, keyframe clipboard and dialogs, time remapping, pick-whips, expression editor | Done |
| M6 | Shapes, masks and footage: shape operators, masks and the pen tool, video and image import | Done |
| M7 | 3D: 3D layers, cameras, lights, shadows, depth of field, 3D views and camera tools | In review |
| M8 | Expressions with the After Effects object model | Done |
| M9 | Text and effects: text animators, layer styles, 259 effects incl. time and audio effects | Done (range, wiggly and expression selectors, per-character 3D, text on a path) |
| M10 | Export: render queue, H.264, ProRes, image sequences, GIF, audio | Done |
| M11 | Animation tools: audio playback, meters and waveforms, Lottie import and export (done); presets, Motion Sketch, Wiggler | In progress |
| M12 | Performance: layer cache and parallel compositing (done), GPU compositing, disk cache, motion tracking | In progress |
| M13+ | Puppet, paint, roto, motion tracking, a plugin API | Planned |
| M15 | The web app (WebAssembly, WebGPU) | Done, single-threaded |
| M14 | Built for agents: MCP server, command-line tool, control channel; Settings, keyboard shortcut editor, auto-save and crash recovery (docs/preferences.md) | Done |
How far from full parity
Measured feature by feature in docs/parity.md (end of 2 October 2026):
- ≈ 79% of After Effects' features, weighted by importance (87% of the essentials, 67% of professional daily-use features, 21% of the long tail); 258 of 298 effects, 16 of them on the GPU.
- ≈ 100 agent-hours of work remain by the audit's estimate. With five Claude Opus 5.5 agents in parallel that is ≈ 8–10 hours of wall-clock time at the pace measured so far, up to ≈ 25 hours by the audit's conservative per-feature figures.
- Hardest remaining pieces: Roto Brush, Advanced 3D, a scripting object model (the 3D Camera Tracker landed).
