<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="the-problem">The Problem<a href="https://sidequestplugins.com/docs/blog/ae-sheets-release#the-problem" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to The Problem" title="Direct link to The Problem" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<p>If you've ever had to translate a video into multiple languages, you know the pain: duplicating compositions, manually swapping text, adjusting fonts for different scripts, and praying nothing breaks. It's tedious, error-prone, and eats into the time you'd rather spend being creative.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="the-solution">The Solution<a href="https://sidequestplugins.com/docs/blog/ae-sheets-release#the-solution" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to The Solution" title="Direct link to The Solution" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<p>AE Sheets connects your After Effects project to a spreadsheet-like interface, letting you manage translations, create language versions, and generate localized compositions — all from one panel.</p>
<h3 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="key-features">Key Features<a href="https://sidequestplugins.com/docs/blog/ae-sheets-release#key-features" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Key Features" title="Direct link to Key Features" translate="no">​</a></h3>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>AI-Powered Translation</strong>: Connect to Google Gemini or OpenAI and translate your text layers automatically. No more copy-pasting into Google Translate.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Smart Rigging Tools</strong>: Our Auto Resize, Dynamic Anchor Point, and Pinning tools ensure your layouts adapt gracefully to different text lengths.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Batch Processing</strong>: Need 10 language versions? Select them all and hit Run. AE Sheets handles the duplication, renaming, and text replacement.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Spreadsheet Integration</strong>: Export your text to TSV, edit in Excel or Google Sheets, and import back. Perfect for collaborating with translators.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Font Mapping</strong>: Automatically swap fonts based on target language — keep your bold headlines bold, even in Chinese or Arabic.</li>
</ul>
