  Radial Lines

  Posted by Rob Rosko on February 12, 2013 at 4:01 pm

  I’m not sure how to describe the effect I’m looking for. I want the lines to come out from a center point and grow and move out radially from that point.

  Here is a still of the effect.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  This should be fairly easy to do using shape layers and repeaters.

  Make a rectangle shape adjust the width and height then add a repeater.

  Set the repeater transform position to 0 in the x any y. Set the number of copies to your desired number. Set the rotation to the number of 360/ the number of copies.

  Animate size and position for the rectangle path.

  Here’s one way, with a shape layer with a circular path, a dashed stroke, and a Repeater:

  Looks like Ridley beat me to it. Good to get confirmation, though.

  And Todd confirms there is an alternate method!
