Easy Arrows
The fastest way to auto-orient graphics to a path in After Effects.
What’s the most natural way to draw attention to something? Point to it! Until now, creating a basic animated arrow in After Effects required complex expressions and parenting, which were tedious to setup and equally frustrating to duplicate.
With Easy Arrows, you can create a flexible auto-orienting setup in just 1 click! Just draw a path and click “Create Easy Arrow”. That’s literally less than 5 seconds. Now you can focus on more important things, like actually animating.
With Easy Arrows, you can:
- Use built-in arrows or custom graphics & compositions.
- Easily update your path after running the script.
- Control styling of the stroke, however you like.
- Quickly change color & size of entire setup.
- Precomp for easy duplication.

I was up against the clock on a project, beating my head up against the wall trying to make an animated arrow manually when I stumbled upon Easy Arrows. Life saver!

If you are into Motion Graphics, you are always aware of the dreadful arrows problem. No customer is satisfied with random stuff, they need precise and controlled paths. Exactly what this script is about. No equivalent. Nowhere. 5 stars !
