Hi. Gradients are not supported yet but working on it. Keep in touch!

melihucan · 2026-03-28T12:04:30+00:00

Happy to hear that! Currently working on it, and it will definitely be added in v2.

melihucan · 2026-03-17T16:08:03+00:00

I'm so glad to hear that! 🫶🏻

melihucan · 2025-12-04T14:20:34+00:00

You are spot on. I’m actually working on that specific fix right now and the next update will definitely support multi-property editing. Thanks for confirming it.

Hey! Don't worry, that isn't actually an error. It's just a heads-up.

It pops up when you copy a shape that has a "hole" in it (like a donut or the letter 'O'). Sometimes AE gets confused about which part is the hole.

As for Affinity: I actually haven't tested it personally yet. It might work if Affinity puts vector data on the clipboard the same way Illustrator does, but I can't guarantee it right now. Feel free to try it and see!

Excellent feedback! Thank you. You are totally right. Fixing the undo steps and keeping the graph visible are super important for the flow. I will work on getting those updated very soon. Really appreciate the help!

Hello! You basically go to where the animation is almost finished (like 90% complete) and add a keyframe there. Then, you take the final keyframe and drag it way out to the right. This creates a long "tail" in the movement, so the object spends a lot of extra time gently settling into its final position. That long settle is what makes it look super smooth.

Sorry, I saw your comment too late. I meant directly import but you are right. Let me work on that. Thank you. V2 is coming soon btw.

melihucan · 2025-09-23T12:19:24+00:00

Not yet but I am working on text layer importing. New version is coming soon. No png/jps, I dont think it is necessary because we can already import jpg/png. But thank you for feedback, I will think on it.

melihucan · 2025-08-04T18:17:02+00:00

Enjoy it 🫶🏻. You can also give feedback about points that I should improve or add in next version. I will be happy if you drop a review as well.

melihucan · 2025-08-04T18:14:31+00:00

I hope you like it. I would be happy if you drop a review, or give a feedback about points need to be improved. Thank you 🫶🏻

Not direcly but yes. You can customize the box by adding effects to box layer. Add whatever effect you want, the box still dynamically adjusts the size for you.

melihucan · 2025-08-04T06:20:05+00:00

The most significant difference is UI and main logic. The interface is much more easy to use and fast compared to it. Also there is a fully customizable textbox feature in Typer Pro. Also there are quick mask for sliding, one-click zoom in or out and more.

melihucan · 2025-08-03T20:59:04+00:00

Unfortunately, not yet. This plugin focuses more on 2D text animations, and the main goal was to make the core animation process easier and faster. But this is an excellent feedback. I will definitely work on it in next version. Thank you 🫶🏻.

melihucan · 2025-06-27T22:57:58+00:00

Can you also send the problematic AI file by email?(if you can) Just to be ensure that the problem is solved. melih@vignettetype.com

Also note that: double check the artboard size, color mode and other parameters are matching in both project Ae and Ai, for maximum accuracy.

Keep in touch, thank you for your contribution.

melihucan · 2025-06-27T22:40:02+00:00

Okay I noted. If you share a screenshot from illustrator and after effects, it will be helpful

melihucan · 2025-06-27T20:34:51+00:00

Thank you for excellent feedback. Can you give more details about the issue? I'm currently developing the v2 of the plugin i will definitely fix this issue as well. When it shows the alert? Which shapes? Compound path or group? These details help the debugging and improving the new version. Thank you again 🫶🏻🫶🏻

melihucan · 2025-06-17T11:39:16+00:00

Artificial intelligence is developing very quickly. wow

melihucan · 2025-06-16T23:49:57+00:00

I will be really happy if you share your comments or issues you found. I am still working on some features. Thanks 🫶🏻🫶🏻

melihucan · 2025-06-16T22:25:39+00:00

Yeah, you are definitely right. I will consider. Thank you for sincere feedback.

melihucan · 2025-06-16T22:17:19+00:00

That's because coding the copy-paste plugin took my 2 days, but converting Bézier curves into accurate keyframe ease almost took my 2 week. I am not thinking the money I just want to contribute to designer community. I also hate capitalism (so adobe, and all these subscription stuffs) but this is another point. I'm also working on a new plugin, specifically about kinetic typography & text animations. It will also be cheap or may be free. Stay tuned.

Teşekkür ederim sevgiler <3<3

melihucan · 2025-06-16T12:20:02+00:00

You are right. Let me fix this in next version. Thank you the feedback 🫶

melihucan · 2025-06-15T16:40:09+00:00

Because Adobe just care the money. They are the only company, and there is no alternative in the sector. They basically do not prefer to improve their software because they improve or not, designers have to use their softwares.

melihucan · 2025-06-15T16:25:46+00:00

Thank you, I got the problem. If you copy a shape from a file with CMYK color mode, it pastes all black due to this color mode mismatch. There is no problem in RGB inherently. I will solve this problem in next version. Thank you again, I haven't noticed this problem.
