About Head to Line 2

Head to Line 2 is an After Effects plugin that creates animated arrows from selected lines. With a single click the line becomes an arrow, and you can choose from built‑in arrowhead shapes (Triangle, Circle, Rectangle) or supply a custom head. Slider controls let you animate the size, angle and roundness of the heads, while checkboxes enable double‑sided arrows and one‑click deletion. Direction, speed and animation duration are also adjustable. Version 2.2 is compatible with After Effects 2020 through 2025. A demo video is hosted on the developer’s page.
