Why we like it

FX StrokeSetter earns its place in the aescripts library as a dedicated stroke panel for After Effects, focused on shape-layer stroke caps, corners, alignment, and effects like taper, wave, and dashes.

What is FX StrokeSetter?

FX StrokeSetter is a stroke panel for After Effects built by Fremox. It changes stroke caps, corners, and alignment on several shape layers at once. Caps can be set to Butt, Round, or Projecting, while corners can be set to Miter Join, Round Join, or Bevel Join, each through dedicated buttons.

Beyond those settings, the panel adds Taper, Wave, or Dashes to strokes. These can be controlled with expressions either locally, with effects created on each layer, or globally, with effects placed on a master Null, using easy shortcuts.

FX StrokeSetter runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. It is version 1.0, released on January 26, 2022, and a demo video is available on YouTube to see the panel in action.

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects versions does FX StrokeSetter support?

FX StrokeSetter is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, covering several recent releases of the application. The current version is 1.0, released on January 26, 2022. If you are running one of these versions, the panel should work with your setup. For the latest details on compatibility and any requirements, check the developer's page before installing.

Can FX StrokeSetter change strokes on several shape layers at once?

FX StrokeSetter changes stroke caps, corners, and alignment on several shape layers at the same time. You can set caps to Butt, Round, or Projecting using the first three buttons, and set corners to Miter Join, Round Join, or Bevel Join using the next three. Selecting the shape layers you want to affect and clicking the corresponding button applies the change across them, rather than adjusting each layer's stroke on its own.

Can FX StrokeSetter control strokes with expressions?

FX StrokeSetter adds Taper, Wave, or Dashes to strokes and lets you control them with expressions. You can work locally, with effects created on each individual layer, or globally, with effects placed on a master Null. Easy shortcuts help you set up either approach. This gives you a choice between per-layer control and a global setup on a master Null.

Is FX StrokeSetter free to use?

FX StrokeSetter is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for current pricing and license details it is best to check the developer's page on aescripts directly. The plugin is at version 1.0, released on January 26, 2022, and a demo video is available to see it in action. Reviewing the developer's page ensures you have the most up-to-date information before you download and install the panel.
