About Vertex Tool

Vertex Tool works on mask and shape layers in After Effects, replacing an original corner vertex with two or more new vertices based on a specified line length. The script includes twelve corner‑rounding algorithms and allows rounding of a single vertex or all vertices across multiple selected shapes. Rounding values can be set in pixels or as a percentage, and the result can be animated from the original shape. A Find intersection point option removes rounding, while the Vertex Coordinates window shows live coordinates and lets users edit in/out tangents. Shape data can be stored and restored. Compatibility spans After Effects CS4 through the 2026 release, with the current version 1.1.3 released in February 2026.

Features

• Live vertex coordinates in focus, including in/out tangents, with custom tangent editing
• Store and restore shape data

Best for

After Effects artists who need to round mask or shape layer corners quickly and with control over multiple shapes.
