About LaPath
LaPath is a corner‑rounding plugin for After Effects developed by rifemotion. It uses an arc‑recognition algorithm to identify existing curves, allowing radius adjustments on corners that have already been rounded. A real‑time slider provides interactive feedback as you refine path geometry. One‑click restoration reverts paths via metadata while keeping original animation keyframes and speed graphs. The plugin can generate controller rigs for multiple path properties within a single shape or mask layer and includes refresh‑rate settings to balance smoothness and CPU usage. Version 1.1.0 is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022 and is listed as free in this catalog.
