Headless motion graphics with EffectCraft (After-Effects-style comps, layers, text presets, keyframes), provisioned on demand by pi-craft - animate a composition and render a transparent ProRes 4444 overlay, mp4, GIF or still. Use for "make an animated title with a transparent background", "render a lower third as a mov with alpha", "export a still frame of this comp".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# EffectCraft — headless motion graphics EffectCraft is ArtCraft's compositing/motion app (comps, layers, 731 commands, 300+ effects). `pi-craft` provisions the headless `effectcraft-cli` on first use (no desktop app). Choosing between apps, the discover → execute → save → verify loop, the hand-off formats and the MCP policy live in `craft-studio` (an alpha overlay for FilmCraft is **mov ProRes 4444 with rgba channels** — this skill produces it). ## What it is for / formats Compositions of text, shapes, footage and effects with keyframes, expressions and text animation presets. Project file: `.ecproj`. Renders `h264 hevc av1 prores webm gif`, image sequences `png jpeg tiff exr`, audio `wav aiff`; a single still via `render-frame` (png). For finished video editing use FilmCraft, for a still raster edit PhotoCraft. ## CLI dialect `pi-craft effectcraft exec <args…>` passes the arguments to `effectcraft-cli`. **Project flags come before the subcommand** (`--empty`, `--project F.ecproj`, `--save`, `--save-as F`). ```bash effectcraft-cli commands [--filter TEXT] [--enabled] [--json] # list ids; --json adds the parameter schema …

How to install
mdr add blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard/effectcraft@sha256:bc5d2a13f0ce9709The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.bf59830, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
