  Wiggle paths of lines, problems with ends of lines

  Posted by Sammy Purcell on April 16, 2015 at 10:11 am

  Hi,

  I’d be very grateful if any one could help me or point me in the right direction with an issue I’m having.

  I have shape layers of line drawings (originally from illustrator files) and I want them to be ‘drawn’ on (I’m using trim paths for this) and also wiggle at the same time. I tried using wiggle paths but the ends of the lines also wiggle meaning the line drawing breaks up. Is there any way of locking the ends of the lines so only the middle wiggles around?

  I’ve attached a screenshot of the line ends not matching up. It’s just a test drawing.

  The assets haven’t yet been made for this project so if there is an easier way than making them in Illustrator then please let me know. I was going to ask for the whole line drawing to be one line (by joining them) but the ends still wouldn’t match up as there are multiple line drawings next to each other.

  Any help or links to appropriate tutorials would be really appreciated.

  Thanks so much,

  Sammy
