Please add a taper effect/option to 'Stroke' as well as Shape Layer strokes.
Please add a taper effect/option to 'Stroke' as well as Shape Layer strokes.
It's such a simple request that has been requested for over 8 years. The ability to taper a stroke of any kind. Either from the "Effects & Presets - Stroke" or a simple Shape Layer stroke.

Tapered Strokes became available in After Effects 17.1.

The new version of After Effects supports Tapered strokes. Awesome!
However, I still can't import Illustrator variable width strokes into After Effects.
Could you make After Effects read variable width data from Illustrator?
Alternatively, you could open the variable width stroke data in Illustrator, so the very talented Adam Plouff at Battle Axe could add it to Overlord.
Additionally, you could add Wacom tablet support to After Effects, so we could draw with variable width (tapered stroke) directly in After Effects.

I came here for this and I have seen people request this since 2014.
It is time!!!I don't think this should be only available through plug-ins since it is already available in illustrator.

I came here to suggest the very thing.
Adobe makes Illustrator which has this feature already, so why neglect motion graphic artists? -

the width tool in illustrator could be a good place to start as reference.
