About Polyline

Polyline is a Motion Boutique plugin for Adobe After Effects that creates animated, colorful polygonal lines with full control over appearance. The final version (1.2) adds support for Apple Silicon and After Effects 2023, while remaining compatible with releases from CS5.5 through 2024. Polylines are built from motion paths, but their total length cannot exceed the composition’s maximum size of 30,000 px. The plugin relies on built-in Corner Pin and CC Power Pin effects, which may occasionally show display issues, and segment rotation adjustments can cause texture deformation. Polyline has been discontinued; the developer no longer provides updates or support. The last release is offered on a name‑your‑own‑price basis, meaning users set the payment amount themselves.
