Let’s create a "Kinetic Typography" opener using Plugin Everything:
Traditional faux-3D techniques (such as using the Minimax effect or stacked repeater layers) frequently break when paths intersect or overlap. Extrude handles self-intersecting geometries and complex fill rules natively, ensuring clean lines even when text animators skew or distort characters into one another.

For shape layers, Extrude handles intersecting and overlapping paths with robust precision. It supports mask modes such as Add, Subtract, and Difference natively, allowing users to create complex 3D cutouts directly inside the shape layer without converting to bezier curves first.
: Native After Effects motion blur is not directly supported; users must use post-processing effects like CC Force Motion Blur . ✅ True depth ✅ Bevel controls ✅ Native
The core philosophy behind Extrude is simplicity. The developer, Plugin Everything (founded by James Whiffin), is known for creating intuitive tools like Deep Glow, Repeater, and Shadow Studio 3 to streamline motion graphics workflows.
I have broken this down into three versions depending on where you need the text (e.g., Gumroad/AE Scripts store, YouTube description, or Social Media caption). It supports mask modes such as Add, Subtract,
So, what makes Extrude so special? Here are some of its key features:
Allows for "inner extrusion," letting you transition between standard and sunken looks seamlessly.
