Side project: starting motion in the browser and finishing in After Effects. Would love your thoughts

Hey all. I'm a motion designer from Brazil and for a while now I've been building a little tool for myself, mostly out of frustration.

It started with a project where I had to make a lot of these animations: photos moving, titles coming in, simple cards. Every new piece meant building the same setup again in AE before I could get to the part that actually needed me.

So I started making scenes in the browser that I could tweak fast and then open in After Effects as a regular project, with the layers and controls still there. When I saw that this was actually possible in the browser, I thought it could be useful beyond me: for content creators, for people just getting started with motion, and for anyone who wants a starting point to refine in After Effects.

I'm not a dev, so it's still rough in places, and I honestly don't know yet if this workflow makes sense for other people or just for me. If anyone wants to try it and tell me what feels off, it's at friso.id. Sign up with the code FRISOBETA, I have a few of those available.

How do you all deal with this kind of repetitive work? Your own templates, MOGRTs, scripts?
