Aescripts Railway V1 02 For After Effects

Railways by GoodboyNinja is a must-have plugin for Adobe After Effects users who work with animated paths, lines, and trails. Whether you’re designing motion graphics, UI maps, schematics, or kinetic typography, Railways lets you automatically animate shapes along a path with zero keyframes.

Instead of wrestling with offset strokes, masks, or tedious frame-by-frame adjustments, Railways gives you procedural, geometry-aware animations that just work—fast, clean, and flexible.

Railways generates dynamic animations where a stroke (or multiple shapes) follows a spline or path. It’s perfect for:

It gives you fine control over timing, easing, trail length, and object alignment — all using a non-destructive, plugin-based interface directly inside After Effects.

Animate shapes and lines along any After Effects path without manual keyframes.

Attach text, shapes, icons, or nulls to follow the path. Great for train-style motion, delivery animations, or point-of-interest reveals.

Control head/tail offsets, motion blur, trimming, and motion smoothing — fully procedural.

Supports Bezier curves, open/closed paths, and custom shapes — works with your existing layers.

Extremely fast to render and preview — ideal for complex UI animation or long-route sequences.

All animations are procedural — no need to bake keyframes. Update paths and the animation adapts instantly.

Creating path-following animations in After Effects is normally a pain. Mask paths, trim paths, offset values — it’s messy, rigid, and hard to iterate. Railways eliminates that pain by giving you a direct, smart way to attach objects and animate them along any path — all without expressions or rigs.

Whether you’re animating subway lines, visualizing app flows, or adding guided movement to illustrations, Railways saves hours of work.

It’s that simple. No expressions, no precomps, no manual syncing.

Railways by GoodboyNinja is one of those plugins that becomes instantly indispensable after one use. It’s intuitive, powerful, and solves a very real After Effects limitation. For anyone working with path-based animation or directional motion graphics, Railways offers a smarter, faster, and more flexible solution.

If you’re tired of wrestling with trim paths and offset tricks, Railways is your shortcut to clean, dynamic animation — no keyframes required.
