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, save again.

✓ TextPilot: Translate + save language versions
Features
One panel. Every text tool you need.
TextPilot gives you a centralized command center for every text layer in your project.
📡
