Aescripts - Connect Layers PRO 1.3.4

Connect Layers PRO 1.3.4 is a professional-grade plugin for Adobe After Effects that empowers motion designers and animators to dynamically connect layers using advanced path expressions. Whether you're creating animated ropes, spanning trees, or triangulated connections, this tool simplifies complex layer interactions with just a single click.

This plugin is built using the path expressions engine introduced in After Effects CC 2018 and works best with AE CC 2019 or later. AE CC 2019 introduced the JavaScript expressions engine, which significantly boosts performance for expression-heavy workflows. To enable this, go to File > Project Settings > Expressions tab and set the Expressions Engine to "JavaScript."

With Connect Layers PRO, you can:

Instantly connect layers using dynamic, customizable lines.

Create advanced shapes like ropes, triangulations, and spanning trees without keyframes.

Customize the appearance of lines on the fly with a rich set of tools.

Choose from various line curvature styles such as steps, arcs, beziers, Penner easing curves, and even dynamics-based animations.

Add arrowheads with shape options including squares, circles, and triangles – all of which animate naturally with your lines.

Use powerful layer effects like repeater, round corners, twist, wiggle, and zig-zag directly from the plugin interface.

Enjoy seamless control using After Effects' shape layer system without needing to navigate complex menus.

Animate in 3D space and integrate with Newton 3 for physics-based motion such as soft body simulations and realistic rope dynamics.

What’s New in Version 1.3.4:

Added new feature to flip the direction of the Step connection.

Updated to the latest aescripts licensing framework.

Whether you're working on a motion graphics project, infographic animation, or a physics-based simulation, Connect Layers PRO offers the precision, speed, and flexibility needed for professional results.
