Why we like it

Looping Lines earns its place in the aescripts library as a self-contained way to build procedural looping line animations from presets and a set of adjustable parameters, with coverage spanning After Effects 2020 through 2026.

What is Looping Lines?

Looping Lines is a script for After Effects, built by Manuel does Motion, that generates procedural looping line animations. You apply it to a composition, choose a preset, and set the loop length to reach an animated result you can then refine.

From there, the script exposes a range of controls: number of lines, stroke width, global position and rotation offsets, lines opacity, rotation, color and distance, plus rotation and position wiggle amounts and animation speed. A random seed lets you shift between generated variations.

It supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and the current version is 1.0.2 from June 2026. A demo video is available. Looping Lines is listed as free in this catalog, with current licensing details on the developer's page.

Who is Looping Lines best for?

Frequently asked questions

Does Looping Lines work with After Effects 2026?

Looping Lines supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, so it runs across recent and several older releases. The current version is 1.0.2, released on June 19, 2026, which followed the initial 1.0.1 release with bug fixes. If you're on one of the listed versions, the script should install and run without needing a newer build. For any environment outside this range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.

Is Looping Lines free to use?

Looping Lines is listed as free here. Licensing can change over time, so for current terms, download options and any usage conditions, check the developer's page on aescripts. The script covers After Effects versions 2026 through 2020, and the newest release is 1.0.2 from June 2026. After applying it, you choose a preset and refine the result through the available controls to generate different animation variations.

What settings can I adjust in Looping Lines?

Looping Lines exposes controls for loop length, number of lines, stroke width, and global position and rotation offsets. You can also set lines opacity, rotation, color and distance, add rotation and position wiggle amounts, change the animation speed, and set a random seed. Choosing a preset gives a starting point, and the random seed lets you shift between generated variations. Together these parameters cover the look and motion of the line animation.

Is there a demo of Looping Lines?

Looping Lines has a demo video available on YouTube that you can view before installing. Beyond that, the way to explore its range is to apply the script, choose one of the presets, set the loop length, and adjust parameters such as line count, stroke width, speed and the wiggle amounts to generate variations. The developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm current details and licensing.
