wave like effect
Hello all! I am stuck to come up with the trick to create the similar effect you see in the video
I used trim path and change the position and this is the result I reached
But I still lack the part that acts like a whip (the part in the red circle below)
many thanks in advance for your help!

Try using the polar coordinates or maybe one of the VR effects on an adjustment layer then playing with the line work below. maybe that will work

I would think you’d have to animate the path itself to move in that whipping shape

I see here a whip following the dots.
Dots are animated and arranged in a strict order which can be done one way or another:
Running a coarse line through them can be done with createPath():
Smoothing it is a different problem which I don’t really know how to address.
I can do some smoothing with a version of a script from here: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1134161 like this:
But as you see, it differs from the gif. All I’m sure is that that line on the gif is smoothed not with Auto Bezier.

You could try what Oleg did but attach a precomped line with puppet tools to the nulls, that would auto smooth to a certain extent. But I imagine it’ll look like what he has with the auto smooth script thing.
Or use ‘extended points to nulls’ to have full bezier control and just spend a bit of time manually animating the beziers so they look smooth, that shouldn’t be too painful.
