About FX StrokeSetter
FX StrokeSetter, developed by Fremox, is a dedicated stroke panel for After Effects. It lets you change stroke caps (Butt, Round, Projecting) and corners (Miter Join, Round Join, Bevel Join) across several selected shape layers at once, and adjust stroke alignment. The panel also adds Taper, Wave, or Dashes to strokes, which can be driven by expressions either locally on each layer or globally via a master Null using built‑in shortcuts. FX StrokeSetter runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. Version 1.0 was released on January 26, 2022, and a demo video is available on YouTube.
