Why we like it

Beziyay earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused, single-purpose tool: it generates shape layers to visualise bezier handles and adds styling plus text readouts for vertex position, tangent angle, and length. If you make process breakdowns of type and vector work, that specificity is the appeal.

What is Beziyay?

Beziyay is an After Effects tool from Shorts & Tales that generates shape layers to visualise bezier handles. It turns that curve data into something you can see directly in a composition.

The tool provides styling controls for vertices, tangents, and handles, and it can display text information for vertex position, tangent angle, and length. According to the developer, it saves time and lets you focus on creating behind-the-scenes case studies for typography, logos, data visualisations, iconography, and illustrations.

Beziyay is at version 1.1, released March 31, 2026, and lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025, and 2024. The 1.1 update fixed code so the script runs correctly in all languages, following the 1.0 release on March 20, 2026. A demo video is available for a closer look.

Frequently asked questions

Does Beziyay work with After Effects 2026?

Beziyay lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025, and 2024. If you run one of those three versions, the tool is designed to work with your setup. For anyone on an older release, the developer's page is the best place to confirm whether earlier versions are supported before installing, since only these three are noted. Version 1.1, released on March 31, 2026, is the current build covering this range, so updating to it keeps you aligned with the listed compatibility.

Is Beziyay free to use?

Beziyay is listed as free in this catalog. Since licensing terms can change over time, it's worth checking the developer's page for the current details before you download, including any usage conditions the developer may set. The tool is published by Shorts & Tales, and the developer's page also carries the changelog and version history if you want to confirm exactly what the latest build includes before committing to it.

Does Beziyay run in non-English After Effects?

Beziyay works across languages as of version 1.1, released March 31, 2026, which fixed code so the script runs correctly in all languages. If you use After Effects in a language other than English, updating to 1.1 or later is what enables correct behaviour, since the initial 1.0 release from March 20, 2026 did not include this fix. The developer's page lists the full version history if you need to confirm which build you are on.
