  Simple path question.

  Posted by Henry on July 25, 2005 at 6:16 am

  Hello,

  In this video… https://www.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/old_tv/AE_old_tv.mov

  There is a instruction screen talking about loop out cycle…

  How can you get the arrow to come in like that?

  In AE6.5 Pro, I have got my arrow as a layer, and also a circle mask that I want it to follow.

  I have orient along path. Now how do I get to actually move along the path like they did in the video?

  Thank you!!

  If you’re talking about Aharon’s instructional video, I believe he’s using a program like Catasima:

  to capture his scrren while he’s doing the demo on AE.

  If you want an arrow on it’s own layer to follow thw path of a mask, twirl down the mask, highlite and copy the mask shape, then paste that into the Arrow layer’s Position property, you get position keyframes that match the mask patIs that what you want to do?
