AEPathfinder

Developer: PENCIL Park

Download Free

After Effects plugin with one-click Pathfinder-style operations to combine, split and trim vector shape layers.

What AEPathfinder does

AEPathfinder from PENCIL Park brings Illustrator-style Pathfinder operations to shape layers in After Effects. One click performs Outline, Divide, Intersect, Trim, Subtract or Exclude on one or several layers.

The workflow is non-destructive: it generates new shape layers and uses no expressions. A single selection reaches the built-in merge options, while multiple selections create a new layer and keep the sources. The Split shapes feature separates results into individual elements for animation, and holding Shift, Alt or Cmd/Ctrl removes the originals.
