Aescripts - SVG2AE v2.0
https://aescripts.com/svg2ae/
- SVG2AE is a powerful, time-saving After Effects extension built for motion designers, illustrators, and animators who want a seamless workflow between vector design tools and After Effects. Instead of dealing with tedious workarounds or messy conversions, SVG2AE lets you import SVG files directly as native shape layers—clean, editable, and ready for animation.
- At the heart of SVG2AE is its ability to translate SVG artwork into After Effects’ shape layer structure with remarkable accuracy. You no longer need to re-draw paths, convert layers manually, or lose quality through rasterization. Simply drag and drop your SVG file into the extension, and SVG2AE instantly creates crisp, scalable shape layers that behave exactly like native AE vectors. This capability opens the door to effortless logo animations, iconography, UI motion design, infographic sequences, and any project relying on clean and editable vector paths.
- The extension is designed with simplicity in mind. It supports importing multiple SVGs at once, automatically organizes layers, and converts every compatible path into AE-friendly vector shapes. While it focuses on closed paths (ensuring clean shape generation), it maintains the structural integrity of your artwork without flattening or compromising detail. Artists working in Illustrator, Figma, Affinity Designer, or Inkscape can enjoy a direct, streamlined pipeline into After Effects without additional formatting.
- Because SVG2AE outputs true shape layers, you get full access to After Effects’ shape modifiers: trim paths, wiggle paths, offsets, strokes, fills, expand operations, morphing, and much more. Scale your artwork infinitely without pixelation, recolor elements non-destructively, and animate with precision. This platform-native approach also keeps projects lightweight, portable, and compatible across different AE setups—no external plugins or dependencies required.
- SVG2AE includes user-friendly options such as customizable temporary file locations, intuitive panels, and compatibility with modern AE versions. Whether you're animating brand assets, creating explainer videos, or managing complex UI motion flows, it dramatically speeds up your workflow by eliminating repetitive manual conversion tasks.
