With Crazy Shapes, you can expand the possibilities of Path work in After Effects. Make rigs, add cool animations in a few clicks, and use extra tools to make your work easy and fun.

About this script

We prepared a set of tools to process Path. They help to make squash and stretch, wavy animation, secondary actions, and more. Rig tools help to connect prepared illustrations, which cannot be achieved with other classic tools.

The scripts use two types of animation. Looped animations work without any keys and are created directly inside the path. So with a few sliders, you can change full animation. Half-automated animations add secondary actions to your prepared illustrations. These features will speed up your workflow and extend possibilities.

To the basic tools, there are some supporting tools:

Benefits

5. Export

All animations in our scripts work on expressions, so you can easily convert them to keys and use them as web or app animations.
