drAEw

drAEw is a creative playground embedded in After Effects. Forget about bouncing between sketch apps and AE, draw, animate, and deploy frame-by-frame shapes within one panel. With vector tools, onion skinning, and real-time shape export, drAEw makes animation and storyboarding fluid and fast. It’s precision where you want it, and sketch freedom where you need it. Output your animations as a single keyframed layer, or, if you prefer granular control, as a stack of layers following your chosen frame timing. The "Automatic Mode" allows you to draw 'n' push in AE on the fly! Total flexibility, no friction.

Easy Taper

Easy Taper is a time-saving After Effects script designed to simplify the process of adjusting taper settings on shape layers. Instead of digging through complex menus, Easy Taper gives you a single, intuitive slider to control the taper of one or multiple selected strokes at once. It’s fast, efficient, and designed to keep you focused on creativity rather than technical adjustments. Perfect for motion designers who frequently work with strokes and lines.
