FlowPath earns its place in the aescripts library by driving path animation through expressions and a single 0–100 slider, keeping motion non-destructive and editable. The 1.0.3 update refined how loop animations respect Easy Ease keyframes for more consistent cycles.
FlowPath is an After Effects tool for animating layers along motion paths, built around expression-based control. It covers single-layer multi-path setups and synced multi-layer animation, along with looping, offset rotation, path switching, and roundtrip or ping-pong motion. None of it requires baking keyframes.
A single slider running from 0 to 100 drives the animation along a path. Motion follows native mask paths, and live path switching works with native mask layers. You get looping, ping-pong, and roundtrip motion types, plus offset and reverse support with an Auto Orient toggle. The approach is expression-based, real-time, and fully procedural, and the workflow stays non-destructive and editable throughout. A responsive UI panel keeps setup minimal.
FlowPath runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. It handles path-based motion procedurally rather than through baked keyframes. The current version is 1.0.3, and a demo video is available.
FlowPath is best for animating After Effects layers along motion paths procedurally, including single-layer multi-path and synced multi-layer setups, with looping, ping-pong, and roundtrip motion, all without baking keyframes.
FlowPath is completely free to download and use.
FlowPath is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, covering several recent releases. If you're on one of those versions, it should run without needing an older build. For versions outside that range, check the developer's page on aescripts before installing to confirm support. The current release is version 1.0.3, updated on January 11, 2026, so make sure you're pulling the latest build to get the most recent fixes.
FlowPath animates layers along motion paths without baking keyframes, using an expression-based, real-time, and fully procedural approach. A single slider running from 0 to 100 drives the animation along the path, and motion follows native mask paths directly. The workflow stays non-destructive, so paths and settings remain editable at any point. This keeps the setup adjustable rather than locking motion into fixed keyframes, and live path switching works with native mask layers.
FlowPath version 1.0.3, released January 11, 2026, addresses loop animations so they respect Easy Ease keyframes instead of resetting motion to linear timing. According to the changelog, this produces smoother loops and more consistent motion behaviour across repeated cycles. The initial 1.0 release arrived on August 14, 2025. If you're running an earlier build, updating brings the loop timing fix into your projects, so it's worth grabbing the current version before building loop-heavy animations.
FlowPath is listed here as free. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page on aescripts for the current terms before you download. The tool is distributed through aescripts, where it ranks within the library. Confirming the details there ensures you have the latest information on how it's offered, along with the current version and compatibility notes for your After Effects setup.
