Create Nulls From Paths Extended builds on the beloved path-to-nulls workflow with extra options for rigging masks, shapes and motion paths in After Effects. Like the original, it places a null at every point of your path and links them with expressions — but gives you more say in how the rig is built.
More control where it counts
The extended version adds flexibility around how nulls are generated, named and connected, which pays off on complex shapes and larger rigs where organisation matters. Move the nulls and your path updates live.
Great for
Detailed shape rigs with many points, precise morphing and path-driven animation, and any setup that benefits from cleaner, configurable nulls.
