  Filling space between animated paths

  Posted by Marijus Milos on February 16, 2023 at 3:59 pm

  Hey guys,

  I animated this flag by animating 4 separate paths, I am trying to find the most convenient way to fill a flag in AE. Any ideas?

  Thanks

  Hmm, convenient not sure.
  I would render out a version with a solid color bg then re-import and use Roto.

  You can still use the original path animation and use it as top layer.

  I’ve never in 20 years used it but: the effect Generate -> Paint Bucket can do this, if you don’t mind that the fill isn’t vectorial but a pixeleffect.
