What It Does
Layer Converter automatically turns selected layers into Null objects or Point Lights. Works with any layer type, 2D or 3D, copying all keyframes, rotation, position, and orientation data. Point Lights are named ‘Emitter #(index number)’ for compatibility with Trapcode Particular or Plexus.
Note: This product has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.
Key Features
Works with all layer types. Shape layers, footage, solids, anything. Converts multiple layers at once while maintaining layer order.
Copies all keyframes. Position, rotation, scale, orientation (3D layers), every animated property transfers to the new Null or Light.
Optimized for particle plugins. Point Lights are auto-named as ‘Emitter’ with index numbers for Trapcode Particular. Also useful for Plexus workflows where you need Nulls or Lights instead of shape layers.
One-click interface. Select layers, click convert. No settings to configure.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working with Trapcode Particular or Plexus who need to replace layers with Nulls or Lights. Useful for converting shape layer grids into Nulls for particle geometry, or turning existing layers into Point Lights for particle emission.
