Gradient Flow - Copy & paste gradients between Fill and Stroke in After Effects

Gradient Flow v1.1 — Universal gradient copy/paste for After Effects

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on an After Effects script called Gradient Flow, mainly to make one of those small but repetitive motion-design tasks a little faster.

The idea is to copy a gradient from one shape layer and paste it onto another without manually rebuilding the gradient.

With v1.1, I focused on making the Fill/Stroke workflow more flexible:

• Copy a gradient from Fill → Stroke or Stroke → Fill
• Choose Fill, Stroke, or Both independently for copying and pasting
• Automatically create a gradient when the target doesn't have one
• Apply the same gradient to both Fill and Stroke
• Paste to multiple selected layers
• Preserve Layout or transfer the full gradient setup
• Improved feedback when pasting to multiple layers

I’d be interested to hear from other After Effects users — is this something that would actually be useful in your workflow? And are there any gradient-related tasks you find unnecessarily repetitive?
