FlowPath is an After Effects plugin that animates layers along mask paths using a single 0–100 slider and expression‑based control, supporting single‑layer multi‑path, synced multi‑layer setups, looping, ping‑pong, roundtrip motion and offset rotation without baking keyframes.
Developed by Pixalogic.

About FlowPath
FlowPath animates After Effects layers along native mask paths through an expression‑based, real‑time workflow. A single slider from 0 to 100 drives motion, allowing live path switching, looping, ping‑pong, roundtrip and reverse options with an Auto Orient toggle. The tool works with After Effects 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, keeping all settings non‑destructive and fully editable. Version 1.0.3, released January 11 2026, improves loop handling to respect Easy Ease keyframes, delivering smoother repeated motion. No keyframe baking is required, and the UI panel provides minimal setup for procedural path animation.
