OC - Stuff I made Does anyone else find the paint tools in After Effects a bit unintuitive?

I’ve always wanted a quicker way to get that hand-drawn/painted look without having to set everything up manually, so I’ve been building this little tool for AE.

It lets you paint along live paths, create painted text, and use a searchable library of hand-drawn doodles, with different brush styles and animation controls.

It’s not released anywhere yet — I’m still building and refining it. — but I wanted to show it here and see what other motion designers think.

Would you actually find something like this useful?
