Why we like it

BoringDashes earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused tool for a single job — creating and controlling dashed strokes in After Effects — rather than a broad, multi-feature package.

What is BoringDashes?

BoringDashes is a tool from Danimate for After Effects, built to create and control dashed strokes in a simple and more efficient way. It stays focused on that one task rather than spreading across many features.

The tool is compatible with After Effects 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, covering five yearly versions of the application. It is currently at version 1.0, which arrived on October 4, 2023 as the initial release, so it reflects that first-version starting point.

On this catalog it is listed as free, so you can add it to a supported After Effects install without a purchase here. For the latest licensing details and any updates beyond the initial release, the developer's page is the best place to check.

Frequently asked questions

Does BoringDashes work with After Effects 2024?

BoringDashes lists compatibility with After Effects 2024, along with 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, so it covers several recent releases of the application. If you run one of those versions, it should fit into your setup. For builds outside that range, compatibility is not stated here, so it is worth confirming on the developer's page before installing. The listed range spans five yearly versions, which gives some flexibility if your projects live across different After Effects installations.

Is BoringDashes free to use?

BoringDashes is listed here as free, so you can add it to your After Effects toolkit without a purchase on this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so for the current details it is best to check the developer's page directly before you download. Pricing and any usage conditions are ultimately set by Danimate, and the developer's page is the authoritative place to confirm how the tool is distributed today.

What version of BoringDashes is available and when was it released?

BoringDashes is at version 1.0, released on October 4, 2023 as its initial version. Because it is a first release, the feature set reflects that starting point rather than a long update history. If you want to know whether anything has changed since then, the developer's page is the place to look for the latest version and any release notes beyond this initial one. Checking there before you install helps confirm you are getting the current build.
