Step 1 of 4

Start here

01

Getting started

2:25
Learn
Download Adir, install it with the free ZXP Installer, run the one-time component install, sign in with Claude, connect Higgsfield and Kling, and make your first animation: Hello World.
Why
From zero to your first render in a few minutes, with no admin password and nothing to configure by hand.

Adir: from brief to render

9:34
Learn
The whole workflow, from install, panel and brief to direction, build, generation and render.
Why
Once you see the full loop, every other tutorial makes sense.
  1. Install
  2. The panel
  3. The brief
  4. Direction
  5. Building · adjust while it works, pins
  6. Generate · Higgsfield, with cost quote
  7. It checks itself
  8. Improve, animate, refine
  9. Render
  10. Fully editable
  11. The result

03

Styles & palettes

1:34
Learn
Pick a look from 140+ styles, filter or search, and apply it to your frame.
Why
Deciding the look first saves you from animating twice.

04

Render & versions

1:57
Learn
Render in the background and keep working. Send notes while v01 renders, render v02 next to it, and rely on the automatic backup and "Undo this request".
Why
Rendering never blocks you, and nothing ever gets overwritten. Every version stays on disk, side by side.

Step 2 of 4

Directing Adir

05

Adjust without stopping

1:34
Learn
Send notes while Adir works; each one is applied in order.
Why
Directing in real time is faster than stop, wait and redo.

06

Pins in 2 minutes

1:51
Learn
Draw a box on the frame, write the fix, and send several fixes at once.
Why
Pointing at the problem is the most precise note you can give.

07

Improve this frame

1:28
Learn
Bring your own frame and get it rebuilt, with the reasons behind every change.
Why
You get a better design and learn why it works.

08

Fully editable

1:55
Learn
Start from references, pick a direction, give concrete notes and ask Adir to improve the frame. Everything it builds stays native After Effects, driven by one CONTROLS null.
Why
You're never stuck with a black box. Layers, expressions and sliders are all yours to tweak after Adir is done.

Everyday pieces

09

Lower thirds & titles

1:33
Learn
A matching lower third, title card and logo reveal from one sentence.
Why
A consistent package for any video series in minutes.

10

Social cutdowns

1:22
Learn
Turn one 16:9 ad into 9:16 and 1:1, reframed, not cropped.
Why
One piece ready for every platform and its safe areas.

11

Kinetic typography

1:31
Learn
Import a voice line, give Adir the exact cues, and get type that lands on every word. Then push it with fresh references, concrete notes and "Improve this frame".
Why
Timing to voice is the hardest part of kinetic type. Adir builds it on the cues, and everything stays editable.

12

Product hero with Higgsfield

1:59
Learn
Give Adir a credit budget, get a free quote, and confirm on the red card before anything is spent. The generated plate lands in your project, behind a product built natively in After Effects.
Why
No surprise spending. If a generation fails, credits come back and Adir quotes another model within your budget.

13

Infographic in motion

1:34
Learn
Give Adir real open data and the source, and get a counter, a growing chart and a world map that animate together. The map is downloaded and imported as vector PDF, never drawn by hand.
Why
Real numbers, cited on screen, and a map that stays crisp and editable.

3D Motion with Adir

8:38
Learn
An exploded glass UI with real lights, depth of field and a cinematic camera.
Why
3D that feels designed, not just extruded.

15

Illustrated Motion with Adir

9:00
Learn
A vector racing film drawn at a different angle for every shot, with physics, parallax and sound design.
Why
Illustration with real craft, and a tribute to Senna.

The car and helmet are a tribute, with no sponsor, team or F1 logos. Music: "Galileo's Mission" by Jim Combs. Sound effects and narration voice: ElevenLabs.

16

Data Maps with Adir

8:20
Learn
Real open data at four scales, as exploded 3D maps.
Why
Turning real-world data into motion that people understand.

ATLAS is a fictional brand. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. Earthquakes: USGS. Climate normals: INMET. Population: UN World Urbanization Prospects. Base geography: Natural Earth. Tel Aviv traffic data is illustrative. Music: "Galileo's Mission" by Jim Combs. Narration voice and sound effects: ElevenLabs.

17

Woodcut cordel

3:28
Learn
Give Adir a voice line and two woodcut references, and get a Brazilian folk print that comes alive on the voice: carved ink, paper sheets in depth, stamp-press reveals and a thunder hit on the last word.
Why
A regional look, done with taste. One direction, one accent color, real paper depth, and every beat timed to the voice.

Rivers of light

Real map data, directed by Adir.

How it was made

map_data pulls the real terrain of Iceland's Skeiðarársandur and the Vatnajökull glacier. Every braided glacial river becomes light: hero rivers as foldspace ribbons over hundreds of glowing streams, color by elevation, mirrored in the sea. Four rounds of notes (references re-sent, "Improve this frame"), then a background render. Map © OpenStreetMap contributors.
