Slingshot
Free After Effects scatter tool. Pull back, aim, and scatter layers across the comp with adjustable spread, reach, and a confetti mode that keyframes the explosion.
Yeet Your Layers
Pull back, aim, and let go. Slingshot flings your selected layers in whatever direction you drag, with adjustable spread and reach so you can go tight beam or wide spray.
One-Click Confetti Bursts
Toggle confetti mode and Slingshot keyframes the whole explosion. Layers animate outward from the launch point with scale, rotation, and opacity. Drag up on the confetti icon to control speed.
