  Indiana Style map route fading line

  Posted by James Davies on April 26, 2012 at 1:56 pm

  Good afternoon,

  I am in the process of producing map route which I have done by creating a path applying the stroke effect. The route works great but I would like the preceding part of the route to fade out as the route is draw but I am not sure how to go about it being new to AE.

  Thank you for any help.

  (I am running CS5 on Win 7)

  A simple method would be to use multiple strokes and masks.

  Mask 1 and Stroke 1 for the first part of the journey and as you start Mask 2, Stroke 2, you being the fade out of the Stroke 1.
