Auto-Size Bounding Box - After Effects Preset + Project File

Free After Effects Preset + Project File

Yo! Chris here with another free project for you to check out.

A simple preset to create a custom style bounding box around any layer - while still being able to animate it. Adjust the style of corners, midpoints, stroke, and padding. 

Great for UI animations and more.  

Simple, but fun! 

Even if you don't need to animate a box like this, dive in there to see all the expressions to make a rig like this work. 

Let me know if you use it on anything or if you have any ideas on how to improve it. Hit me up on Twitter
