Build a reusable shape rig in Altar.
Create a rigged rectangle, set its anchor, and keep the controls ready for the next animation pass.

Use Altar’s Tools when you know the exact action you want and would rather click a deterministic tool than brief an AI model. They stay close on a Canvas you arrange around your work.
The Primitives Block creates a rigged rectangle or circle. Anchor + Align + Distribute puts the anchor on the pivot the motion should use. The plugin handles the repetitive setup while the resulting shape and controls remain editable in After Effects.
Building a rig
A simple shape-rig pass looks like this:
- Create a rigged Rectangle from the Primitives Block.
- Set its width, height, roundness, fill, and stroke for the design.
- Use Anchor + Align + Distribute to move the anchor to the real pivot.
- Animate the exposed controls or the layer transforms as ordinary After Effects properties.
Keep the result reusable
The rig stays in the comp as editable After Effects content. If it is useful beyond this job, save the comp or file to Vault with a clear poster and motion preview so you or your team can find it again.
