Moreover, you can’t apply the effects to several selected Shape layers you’ll have to select and apply them one by one so please select only a single Shape layer before clicking any of the UI buttons! Installation: Please keep in mind that you won’t be able to apply an EasyShare FX’ effect more than once on the same Shape layer! If you try to click on a tool’s button (let say the ‘ Symmetry FX‘ for example) while your selected Shape Layer has already this same effect being applied to it (it has already an ‘ easyShape – Symmetry FX’ effect on it in our example), a message will pop up in order to warn you about that and the effect won’t be applied. Again, this feature just uses standard, native Repeater animators (twice this time, one Repeater for each axis), so don’t be afraid to remove the expressions in the Shape Layer’s content and tweak them manually. This is usually easier to tweak this one compared to the Linear Cloner because you won’t have to play with some Per Step Transform properties! Just play with the 2 X/Y Clones Count sliders and adjust the Gap for both axes, in order to achieve the desired effect. Keep in mind that this is just a standard, native, Shape Layer Repeater animator, so don’t be afraid to remove the expressions and tweak them manually.ĭuplicates the content of the selected Shape Layer and arranges the instances in a geometric grid. For example, you’ll be able to change the gap between the clones by tweaking the Per Step Position on the X-axis or you can adjust its Y-axis value to create some vertical or even diagonal arrangements as well. You can then tweak the number of instances with the Clones Count slider, and choose if you prefer your layer to be centered on the first clone or on the middle average of them, by ticking the Center Clones checkbox on/off.Ī sub-group called ‘Per Step Transform’ gives you the ability to tweak the Repeater transform properties without leaving the Effect panel so you won’t have to twirl down the Shape Layer’s content sub-groups at all. Please note that it will group all the content of your selected Shape Layer.ĭuplicates the content of the selected Shape Layer and arranges the instances on a simple line. By playing with these values – especially with the Per Step Scale, in conjunction with the Instances Count and Angle of Completion, you can even create some cool spiral effects! You can then tweak this ring’s Radius, Axis, and Angle of completion.Ī sub-group called ‘Per Step Transform’ gives you the ability to tweak the Repeater transform properties without leaving the Effect panel so you won’t have to twirl down the Shape Layer’s content sub-groups at all. Please note that you’ll end up with an additional Fill color in Shape Layer’s content, that you can tweak directly in the easyShape FX – Metaball effect.ĭuplicates the design grouped in the selected Shape Layer and arranges the instances on a ring shape. The axis can be checked on/off and animated thanks to 2 checkboxes (one for each axis) in the easyShape FX – Symmetry effect.Īpplies an organic blobby effect to the selected shape layer (based on an original idea from Matthieu Wlazinski from Motion Cafe, the creator of TextEvo! Just play with the Blobbiness slider in the Metaball FX and adjust the Shrink / Grow value if needed. Hold down SHIFT while clicking this button if you prefer a vertical mirror effect, or SHIFT+ALT if you want both axes to be mirrored Moreover, being forced to add these animators manually, and having to twirl down every content groups in order to tweak them to achieve the desired effect can be pretty boring and time consuming…ĮasyShape FX is a simple yet useful toolset for AfterEffects that allows you to apply some cool effects to a selected Shape layer by clicking one of the following icon buttons:Īpplies a mirror effect to the selected shape layer (horizontal by default)

Plus, it even supports bezier path as well, so the possibilities are almost limitless.īut knowing how to combine them correctly can be tedious for new After Effects users. It’s fully vector based and offers nice procedural workflows thanks to the rectangle/circle/polygon base shapes and powerful animators (Repeater, Merge…). Motion designers love ★ Shape layers… and so do I.
