About Exte

Exte is a path‑extension plugin for After Effects developed by Terrible Junk Show. It lets you select two points on an existing path and automatically generates a new shape layer containing the extended line, which animates from the original shape. The created path can be converted into a bendable form, and multiple points can be manipulated simultaneously using a single null object. Documentation is provided in English and Japanese, and a demo video demonstrates its workflow. A trial version is available but is limited to creating only one extended path. Exte supports After Effects versions 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and is listed as free in this catalog.
