Super Lines earns its place in the toolfarm library as an After Effects script for line animations, spanning cartoon and abstract styles with unlimited variations built entirely from shape layers.
Super Lines is a script from Motion Design School for building line animations inside After Effects. It focuses on creating and experimenting with different line animations quickly and easily, and can be used for transitions, lettering, speed lines for moving objects, and more.
The tool includes two styles, cartoon and abstract, along with extra types covering invert, both, and regular, plus unlimited variations. Everything it produces is created with shape layers, and it supports shape modifiers.
Super Lines runs across a wide range of After Effects releases, from CS6 through the 2025 version, covering the CC and Creative Cloud editions in between. A demo video is available, and the plugin is listed here as free. Recent updates have addressed fixes such as the Apply to Position function in the abstract style.
Super Lines is best for motion designers making transitions, lettering, and speed lines for moving objects in After Effects.
Super Lines is completely free to download and use.
Super Lines supports a broad range of After Effects versions, from CS6 up through the 2025 release. That range includes 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, as well as the CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, and CC 2014 editions, plus CC and CS6. If you run a version within that span, the script should be compatible. Check Motion Design School's page if you need to confirm details for your specific setup.
Super Lines is listed here as free. For current licensing terms and any conditions attached to downloading or using the script, it's best to check Motion Design School's own page, since pricing and distribution details can change over time. This catalog entry reflects its free listing, but the developer's page is the authoritative source for how it's offered and what, if anything, is required to use it.
Super Lines builds everything it generates using shape layers, and it also supports shape modifiers. The script offers two styles, cartoon and abstract, plus extra types covering invert, both, and regular, along with unlimited variations, and all of these are produced through the same shape-layer approach. Because the output consists of shape layers, it works with After Effects shape-layer modifiers, and the same animations can be used for transitions, lettering, and speed lines for moving objects.
Super Lines reached version 1.4.9 on June 26, 2024, which fixed the Apply to Position function in the abstract style. Earlier updates addressed other issues: version 1.4.8 fixed an error that could occur when the dimensions on a shape layer's position were separated, and version 1.4.7 resolved a problem where the path direction could not be changed after generation on the random style.
