About Set Path Keyframes
Set Path Keyframes is a script for Adobe After Effects, developed by Mograph Mindset, that manages path keyframes on selected Shape Layers using keyboard shortcuts. When run, it adds new path keyframes at the current time; if all paths already have keyframes at that moment, running it again removes those keyframes. The script also provides quick viewing controls: pressing “U” reveals all modified properties, and “SS” shows only the selected keyframes. As of version 1.1 (May 2023), keyframes are automatically selected after being added. Compatibility includes After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. The script is distributed through the aescripts library and includes a demo video on the developer’s page.
