Animated network diagrams in After Effects — nodes connected by lines that move together — are everywhere in tech explainers. Here is how to build one with NodeKit.
Why a dedicated toolkit?
Building and animating many nodes and links by hand is slow and hard to keep consistent. A toolkit automates the connections.
Step 1 — Place the nodes
Position the points that will form your network.
Step 2 — Connect them
Use NodeKit to link nodes with connections.
Step 3 — Style the graphic
Set node and line appearance to match your look.
Step 4 — Animate
Move the nodes and the links follow.
