Silhouette Shape Import-Export for After Effects 4.0

Silhouette Shape Import-Export for After Effects

Streamline your roto and compositing pipeline with a fast, reliable bridge between Boris FX Silhouette and Adobe After Effects. Silhouette Shape Import-Export for After Effects lets you move shape data between the two applications with minimal cleanup, preserving curves, timing, and structure so you can focus on creative work instead of redoing masks.

Key features:

• Import Silhouette shapes directly into After Effects as masks or shape layers
• Export After Effects masks or shape layers back to Silhouette for finishing or further roto
• Maintains Bezier curves, tangents, keyframe timing, and layer organization where possible
• Batch import/export multiple shapes and layers in one pass
• Options to map names, colors, and layer hierarchy to match your project conventions
• Frame rate and resolution-aware translation to reduce slipping or scale mismatches
• Clear feedback and logging to help catch any shapes that need manual adjustments

Ideal for:

• Artists who roto in Silhouette and composite in After Effects
• Teams sharing shape assets across departments or vendors
• Converting legacy mask work into a consistent, cross-app format

Notes:

• Some advanced parameters may not translate one-to-one between applications; minor touch-ups may be required.
• Requires a compatible version of After Effects; Silhouette is optional for import but needed for export workflows targeting Silhouette.
