• Convert multiple parametric shapes to Bezier paths, bake shape transforms, select all paths, and copy clean vectors. PathPrep is a dockable After Effects ScriptUI panel that streamlines your shape layer workflow. Convert parametric shapes to Bezier paths, bake transforms, select all paths, and copy clean vectors - all in just a few clicks.

Features

Convert multiple parametric shapes to editable Bezier paths
- Because “Convert To Bezier Path” shouldn’t mean clicking all day.

Select a shape layer, optionally choose which shapes to convert, and hit “Convert to Bezier Paths.” It’s a huge time-saver when you want to convert a lot of shapes, because After Effects’ regular menu command “Convert to Bezier Path” can only be used on one parametric shape at a time.


Apply Transforms
- Because transforms should help, not hinder.

Bake Anchor, Position, Scale and Rotation into Bezier Paths, with options to process all paths on the layer, or just user-selected ones, and options for Anchor point placement. Setting the anchor point to the shape’s bounding box center makes your transforms behave naturally - just like native AE behavior, ensuring post-bake editing stays intuitive.


Select all path properties at once
- Because finding all your paths shouldn’t feel like archaeology.

Quickly highlight every Bezier path in a shape layer and optionally add keyframes to them. Ideal for batch editing tasks. Saves heaps of time compared to tedious and time-consuming twirling / opening of multiple collapsed groups.


Copy Paths to Clipboard
- Because Illustrator wants your paths not your keyframes.

Copy raw vector data from After Effects shape paths, even if they’re animated, for pasting into Illustrator or other vector software.
