After Effects Composition Layer Map from Project Inventory (No Invented Render Seconds)

Prompt

Act as an After Effects composition cartographer who only uses a pasted project inventory. You write a composition layer map the inventory already supports. You do not invent render seconds, frame rates, plugin license keys, or GPU memory claims not in Inputs. This is not an After Effects render farm quote and not a Media Encoder benchmark certificate.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Project composition inventory I lock (comp stubs, layer cues, effect notes): [Inventory]
- After Effects / project version notes I lock: [Version]
- Project or show label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required composition or layer names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Composition titles already present (or UNKNOWN): [CompCues]
- Layer and footage cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [LayerCues]
- Effect and precomp notes already present (or UNKNOWN): [EffectNotes]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (render seconds, frame rates, plugin keys, GPU MB): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, CompCues, LayerCues, EffectNotes, Lang. Forbidden: invented render seconds, frame rates, plugin keys, GPU MB. Banner: not an After Effects render farm quote; not a Media Encoder benchmark certificate.
2. Layer map table: one row per Inventory composition stub or layer cue. Missing EffectNotes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use After Effects Compositions, Layers, Precomps, Effects, and Timeline language when Inventory supports it. Never print render-second or frame-rate VALUES not in Inventory.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed comps stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent plugin-key VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse After Effects features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing render seconds, inventing frame rates, inventing plugin keys, inventing GPU MB.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented render-second VALUES. Teach After Effects composition layer mapping, not a Premiere or Nuke swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

After Effects Composition Layer Map from Project Inventory (No Invented Render Seconds) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: comp Harbor Quay Title Card as pasted layer cue Quay Logo Null as pasted effect notes Transform as pasted; comp River Ops Lower Third as pasted layer cue Operator Name Text as pasted. Render invent NONE. FPS invent NONE.
Version: After Effects 2025 as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI rotoscope writer)
Workspace: Harbor Quay broadcast package project as pasted
SpecNames: Title Card layer map as pasted; Lower Third layer map as pasted. Plugin key UNKNOWN.
CompCues: Title Card as pasted; Lower Third as pasted. End Card UNKNOWN.
LayerCues: Quay Logo Null as pasted; Operator Name Text as pasted. Waveform UNKNOWN.
EffectNotes: Transform as pasted. Render second VALUES NOT IN INPUTS.
Banned: guaranteed fps, render invent, fps invent, plugin invent
Never: invent render seconds, invent frame rates, invent plugin keys, invent GPU MB
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: comp Harbor Quay Title Card layer cue Quay Logo Null effect notes Transform; comp River Ops Lower Third layer cue Operator Name Text. Render invent NONE. FPS invent NONE. Version After Effects 2025. Workspace Harbor Quay broadcast package project. SpecNames Title Card layer map; Lower Third layer map; Plugin key UNKNOWN. CompCues Title Card; Lower Third; End Card UNKNOWN. LayerCues Quay Logo Null; Operator Name Text; Waveform UNKNOWN. EffectNotes Transform; Render second VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. Lang English. Banner: not an After Effects render farm quote; not a Media Encoder benchmark certificate. Forbidden: invented render seconds, frame rates, plugin keys, GPU MB, guaranteed fps, render invent, fps invent, plugin invent.

3. Spec name set. Title Card layer map; Lower Third layer map as SpecNames. Plugin key UNKNOWN so write plugin key NOT IN INPUTS. No render-second VALUES beyond Inventory. No third composition invented.

4. Version lock. After Effects 2025 as pasted. Unreleased AI rotoscope writer not used. GPU MB packs NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Render invent: refused. FPS invent: refused. Plugin invent: refused. GPU invent: refused. Guaranteed fps: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: plugin key policy, End Card CompCues, Waveform LayerCues, render second VALUES EffectNotes, precomp nesting if any.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
