  Need help w/expressions….

  Posted by Spoon1 on November 28, 2005 at 4:35 pm

  I am needing to build an animation in which an arrow will travel across the screen and rotate in the direction of travel. Is there an expression that can do this? Thanks!

  You may not need an expression depending on how your animation is set up. You should be able to select your arrow, then in the menu click Layer > transform > auto-orient > Orient along path.

  Kind regards,

  Thank you so much. I have worked with AE for years and still find new features that I never knew existed. I guess that is one of the faults of being pretty much self taught. Thanks again. Do you know of any good links to learn expressions?

  I myself am pretty weak on expressions, but this is one I wish I had time to get into:
