v1.3 Roll It!

Shape/Mask Roller for After Effects

renderTom Roll It! is the easy way to roll any shape or mask in Adobe After Effects.

Roll it can roll any complex shapes in After Effects. Honestly, it’s more fun that it sounds! Try it. Select a shape or group of shapes and click a button – now go and modify Rotation property under layers Transform group and watch it roll!

Roll it handles complex shapes with ease. Rest assured that it will roll whatever you throw at it. No limits, except parametric shapes of course, which have to be converted to Bezier Paths before rolling.

Notes

• Roll it works with Bezier shapes, so all the parametric shapes such as rectangle, ellipse, and star, must be converted to a Bezier shape. To do so, twirl open the shape layer and right-click the shape path for example, Rectangle 1, and select Convert To Bezier Path.
• Roll it does not work with animated shapes due to high level of trigonometric calculations inside expressions, that would otherwise bog down your system.
