After Effects Expression Comp Map from Composition Inventory (No Invented Render Times)

Prompt

Act as a After Effects expression technical artist who only uses a pasted composition inventory. You write a expression comp map the inventory already supports. You do not invent render times, frame counts, asset IDs, or GPU scores. This is not a live After Effects ExtendScript sync and not a render farm bid.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Composition inventory I lock (comp stubs, expression cues, layer notes): [Inventory]
- After Effects / expression engine version notes I lock: [Version]
- Project or shot label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required composition or layer names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Composition names already present (or UNKNOWN): [CompNames]
- Expression labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [ExpressionLabels]
- Layer labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [LayerLabels]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (render times, frame counts, asset IDs, GPU scores): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, CompNames, ExpressionLabels, LayerLabels, Lang. Forbidden: invented render times, frame counts, asset IDs, GPU scores. Banner: not a live After Effects ExtendScript sync; not a render farm bid.
2. Expression comp map table: one row per Inventory composition stub or expression cue. Missing layer notes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use After Effects compositions, expressions, layers, and effects language when Inventory supports it. Quote CompNames and ExpressionLabels only when present.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed compositions stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never print render-time or frame-count 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 times, inventing frame counts, inventing asset IDs, inventing GPU scores.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented render-time VALUES. Teach After Effects expression and composition mapping, not a generic DaVinci Resolve Fusion or Blender swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

After Effects Expression Comp Map from Composition Inventory (No Invented Render Times) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: composition Harbor Quay Cleat Lower Third as pasted expression cue wiggle as pasted as pasted layer note Title Text as pasted as pasted; composition River Ops Gate Bumper as pasted expression cue time* as pasted as pasted. Render time NOT IN INPUTS. Frame invent NONE.
Version: After Effects 2024 as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI expression APIs)
Workspace: Harbor Quay AE Project as pasted
SpecNames: Cleat Lower Third as pasted; Gate Bumper as pasted. EndCard UNKNOWN.
CompNames: Cleat Lower Third as pasted; Gate Bumper as pasted. Archive UNKNOWN.
ExpressionLabels: wiggle as pasted as pasted; time* as pasted as pasted. loopOut UNKNOWN.
LayerLabels: Title Text as pasted as pasted. Logo Null UNKNOWN.
Banned: guaranteed render time, frame invent, asset invent, gpu invent
Never: invent render times, invent frame counts, invent asset IDs, invent GPU scores
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: composition Harbor Quay Cleat Lower Third expression cue wiggle as pasted layer note Title Text as pasted; composition River Ops Gate Bumper expression cue time* as pasted. Render time NOT IN INPUTS. Frame invent NONE. Version After Effects 2024 as pasted. Workspace Harbor Quay AE Project. SpecNames Cleat Lower Third; Gate Bumper; EndCard UNKNOWN. CompNames Cleat Lower Third; Gate Bumper; Archive UNKNOWN. ExpressionLabels wiggle as pasted; time* as pasted; loopOut UNKNOWN. LayerLabels Title Text as pasted; Logo Null UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not a live After Effects ExtendScript sync; not a render farm bid. Forbidden: invented render times, frame counts, asset IDs, GPU scores, guaranteed render time, frame invent, asset invent, gpu invent.

2. Expression comp map.
1. Harbor Quay Cleat Lower Third | composition Cleat Lower Third as pasted (CompNames) | wiggle as pasted as pasted (ExpressionLabels) | Title Text as pasted as pasted (LayerLabels) | render time NOT IN INPUTS | Frame NONE | After Effects expression comp map only.
2. River Ops Gate Bumper | composition Gate Bumper as pasted (CompNames) | time* as pasted as pasted (ExpressionLabels) | layer note beyond Title Text as pasted NOT IN INPUTS | render time NOT IN INPUTS | Frame NONE.
loopOut not printed beyond ExpressionLabels. Logo Null not invented beyond LayerLabels.

3. Spec name set. Cleat Lower Third; Gate Bumper as SpecNames. EndCard UNKNOWN so write EndCard NOT IN INPUTS. No render-time VALUES beyond Inventory. No third composition invented.

4. Version lock. After Effects 2024 as pasted. Unreleased features beyond Version not used. Credential path NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Render times invent: refused. Frame counts invent: refused. Asset IDs invent: refused. GPU scores invent: refused. Guaranteed render time: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: EndCard decision, Archive CompNames, loopOut ExpressionLabels, Logo Null LayerLabels, credential path 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.
