Arc Checker for After Effects

We recently released a new freebie - Arc Checker.

Arc Checker is a tool for After Effects that shows how a layer REALLY moves.

Arcs are fundamental to good animation. But if your layer is animated through parenting or expressions, After Effects won't show you the path of the motion that the naked eye sees - and that’s the one that matters.

Arc Checker does just that: select a layer, click the button, see the arc. You can extend the number of frames it shows, and even re-target it to show a different layer’s movement.

Arc Checker runs as a ScriptUI Panel with a button (if you install it to the ScriptUI Panels folder) or it’ll just do it’s stuff with no panel if you run it from the Scripts folder or via K-Bar.
