THE PERFECT
CLEANUP WORKFLOW

Cleanup Master is a powerful After Effects tool that streamlines shape layer workflows, making complex cleanup tasks faster, smarter, and easier.

→ Check the User Guide Here.

LESS LAYERS
MORE FREEDOM

Build entire characters on as little as a single shape layer and keep your timeline clean.

POINT-BASED
EDITING

All your tools work through point selections in the comp viewer… even renaming.

CLIPPING MASKS
FOR SHAPES

Finally tame merge paths. Simply select a point and a target. Don’t worry about complex hierarchies!

STROKES + MERGE PATHS?
YES! CONVERT STROKES TO SHAPES!

Merge Paths closes shapes by default, which often leads to unwanted results when clipping strokes. Cleanup Master lets you convert strokes to shapes in one click, so they work perfectly with Merge Paths while still staying fully editable.

SUPPORTS TAPER
AND ALL CAP/JOIN MODES.

The “Convert stroke to shapes” option supports taper and all cap/join modes. All settings from the original stroke are applied to the resulting shape in real time, so you can adjust or animate them as needed.

POINT.TAP.ISOLATE.

Select points in the comp viewer and isolate shape groups and keyframes in the timeline
