Take control of your shape layers! Explode & merge for greater precision. Do you deal with a lot of shape layers, or shape layers from Adobe Illustrator? Explode will take a shape layer and split each shape out into its own individual layer, for finer control & easier access. Alternatively, you can Merge multiple shape layers together into a new layer!
Define your Shapes layers before adding them to your comp.
ShapeUp is a tool to define your shapes BEFORE creating the shape layers and adding them to your composition. It creates “clean” shapes, either AE’s native parametric shapes or ones using custom paths (without utilising merge paths). Rounding and zigzag vector filters may get added for corresponding shapes. Neither expressions nor animations will be applied. As said – clean – to get you started. Just try the demo version and have a look at the user guide linked below.
MAIN FEATURES Preview your shape & composition Five shape families to choose from: ellipse, rectangle, horizontal lines, vertical lines, polygons + stars 5-6 sub shapes each Quickly set the anchor position and alignment to your comp within the preview Create shapes at the top / bottom of your layer stack or above / below a selected layer Set size, position, stroke width, rounding, amount of copies and points, inner width, inner rounding for polygons/stars Input fields: Use tokens to utilise the comp size, alignment, position of selected layers, grid spacing Toggle stroke & fill on/off Set colors
