The fastest way to auto-orient graphics to a path.
Easy Arrows will auto-orient built-in arrows, or custom graphics & compositions, to your Shape Layer path. You have complete control over the styling of the path & the attached objects, even after the script has been run.
Until now, creating a basic animated arrow in After Effects required complex expressions and parenting. With Easy Arrows, you can create a flexible auto-orienting setup in just 1 click! Seriously, it’s this simple: draw a path, then click “Create Easy Arrow”. Literally less than 5 seconds.
Now you can focus on more important things, like actually animating.
With Easy Arrows, you can:
Use built-in arrows or custom graphics & compositions.
Easily update your path after running the script.
Control the styling of the stroke, however you like.
Quickly change color & size of the entire setup.
Precomp for easy duplication.
