After Effects Script

Aline Script

Turn any shape path into a clean, straight line animation in just a few clicks — with organic bounce, staggered motion, and complete directional control.

Everything you need

One‑Click Alignment

Select any set of path points and instantly animate them into a perfectly straight line – no manual keyframing.

Staggered & Eased

Add cascading delays, choose from 4 easing styles, and control animation order – all from the panel.

Master Physics Rig

One null controls bounce amplitude, frequency, decay, and elastic/bounce mode for all tracking nulls.

Tensile Fidelity

Preserve the original arc length of your path – or stretch/compress the final spacing for creative effects.

Chain Drift & Ramp

Create whip‑like follow‑through with focal point drift and 15 easing curves (v2.1).

Any Angle, Any Anchor

Align to any angle and choose a custom reference point – even coordinates not on the path (v2.1).

Simple 3‑step workflow

1

Scan your path

Select a shape layer and click “Scan Path” – the panel lists all vertices with their coordinates.

2

Pick your points

Multi‑select the vertices you want to animate, then set stagger, travel, and easing options.

3

Align & refine

Hit “Align to Line” – your points animate to a perfectly straight line. Tweak physics and drift to taste.

What unreal people are saying 👀

I wish these people were real, but see what they said 🤷🏾‍♂️

"Aline saved me hours on a logo animation. The bounce is incredibly natural – I can’t believe it’s all driven by expressions."

Jamie L.
UI Animator (maybe)

"The chain drift feature is a game changer. I can now create sequential card reveals in seconds instead of minutes."

Okay, fine, they're not real. But if they were, they'd definitely say this. And honestly, the script really does all of this. So it's not that much of a stretch, right?
