Forget about endlessly toggling down Shape properties in your timeline to add Path keyframes. Set them instantly with a shortcut!

How it works

This plugin lets you quickly Add or Delete Keyframes for all Path Properties for Shape Layers.

Set Path Keyframes is located within the After Effects "Animation" menu. To run, select Animation > Set Path Keyframes.

Add/Remove Keyframes

After the Path keyframes are created, there are two ways to reveal them in the timeline:

  1. Hit "U" on the keyboard to Reveal All Modified Properties
  2. Hit "SS" on the keyboard to Show Selected, which reveals only the selected keyframes
