Connecting-line networks in After Effects — the glowing links between nodes you see in tech and data visuals — look complex but are quick to build with the right tool. Here is how with Super Lines.
Why a dedicated tool?
Drawing and animating dozens of links by hand, then keeping them attached as layers move, is impractical. Super Lines automates the connections.
Step 1 — Place your points
Arrange the layers or nulls you want to connect.
Step 2 — Generate the lines
Create connecting lines between them with Super Lines.
Step 3 — Style the network
Set width, colour and glow to match your look.
Step 4 — Animate
Move the anchor layers and the network reshapes automatically.
