Path Visualizer stands out in the aescripts library for turning text and paths into vertices, beziers and handles that update live with animation. Its compatibility reaches from CS6 to the 2026 release, and it's listed here as free.
Path Visualizer is an After Effects plugin from Plugin Everything that draws vertices, beziers and handles based on your text or paths. The drawing updates live with any animation. It lends itself to technical and blueprint styles.
The plugin supports a wide range of After Effects versions, from CS6 through the 2026 release. It first shipped in 2019. A later update added a Solo Vertex stroke option and support for multi-frame rendering in After Effects 2022. Version 1.2.1 introduced a universal binary for Apple Silicon (M1 and later) along with a bug fix, and version 1.2.2 updated the license framework.
Path Visualizer is listed here as free, and a demo video is available. For current licensing details, check the developer's page.
Path Visualizer is best for after Effects users creating technical or blueprint-style visuals from text and paths.
Path Visualizer is completely free to download and use.
Path Visualizer supports a broad span of After Effects versions, and CS6 is included. Its listed compatibility runs from CS6 and CC through CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018 and CC 2019, then the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 releases. Whether you're on an older CS6 install or a current build, the plugin is covered. For the most up-to-date compatibility details, the developer's page is the best place to confirm before you install.
Path Visualizer runs natively on Apple Silicon. Version 1.2.1, released in May 2022, added a universal binary for Apple Silicon (M1 and later), so the plugin works on newer Macs. That update also refreshed the license framework and included a bug fix. If you're setting it up on an M1 or later Mac, make sure you're on version 1.2.1 or the newer 1.2.2 release to get the universal binary. Check the developer's page for the current download.

If you're rendering in After Effects 2022 and want to use multi-frame rendering, make sure you're running a version at or above 1.1.1.
