Is there a plugin to be able to numerically control the points of a path, as in Appla Motion? that is, check the points numerically (x - y) 2D (x-y-z) 3D.

Thank you all for reply.

There's an extension on AEScripts that can somewhat replicate this functionality. I can't paste the link or write the name of it because the forum is blocking that specific word, so go to http://aescripts.com/ and search for "hook er" without the space.

Yes, I already knew it, but every time I update the suite it presents a series of problems, it is unstable and sometimes it does not work or does not open, which is why I have not considered it and I was looking for a valid alternative.

Have you submitted a support ticket on aescripts? They're very responsive and if you don't notify the developer about issues then they can't fix them.

For masks you can always use the respective functions to convert to Nulls with expressions or a plug-in like BAO Masked Avenger found at AEScripts.com. 3D paths can be rigged similarly with expressions and likely having a plug-in like Plexus that can create visible 3D lines based on Null objects placed in 3D space might also be helpful. It's perfectly doable, just not a stock effect or simple feature in AE. Anything more would require a specific explanation what you would actually need this functionality for and how it is intended to work in the context of what you have in mind.
