  how to animate a light along a curve in after effect

  Posted by Thomas Vailly on May 5, 2011 at 12:47 am

  Hello,

  I’m a new here + beginner in AE.

  I have a light emitting particule.
  I want to animate it along a curve (from AI file) or to start with along a path I’ve been drawing.

  How do I make the light go along the curve?

  As I said I’m a beginner in AE.

  Thanks,

  ++

  if you keyframe the position of any layer from point A to point B, there should already be a motion path. If you need more information on this just ask.

  I never have the need to copy in a motion path so I don’t know how to do it. But here are some documentation on it and I hope it is helpful
