Vignette Paster (Free Vector Copy-Paste Plugin for After Effects)

Paster is a free plugin that lets you copy vector shapes directly from Adobe Illustrator and paste them as native shape layers inside Adobe After Effects — with accurate path data, fill, stroke, and positioning.

• Copy any path-based vector from Illustrator
• Paste it into After Effects as a real editable shape layer
• Automatically preserves:
  • Path structure
  • Fill and stroke colors
  • Stroke width
  • Position on canvas (no need to manually align)
• Works without exporting SVGs or switching apps
• No file saving, no Illustrator flicker — just click and paste

2. Switch to After Effects and open the Paster panel
3. Click the Paste button or press Cmd/Ctrl + V
4. Your vector is pasted directly into After Effects as a fully editable shape layer — no adjustment needed.
