animate Paint stroke / write on effect
Hey,
I want to record a graphictablet sketch with AE.
My problem: when I release the pen the stroke ive drawed disappers.
In the adobe-helpfile i found this Text:” …this is so that you can record more paint strokes for animated playback starting from the same time.”

For me that’s not a benefit because I always need to see all lines to draw a picture.
Is it possible that the next stroke start at the end of the previuos – and – that AE make a break between two lines, as long as nothing happens?
Thank you for your help.. ..and sorry for my bad spelling.

you probably need to do each stroke on a separate layer, so that the strokes stay visible.
but actually, the best way to do this is to create your drawing, break the drawing up in to separate strokes in separate layers in Photoshop, then bring all the layers into After Effects as a comp. Then, apply the write on effect and change the paint style to Reveal original image.
There is a tutorial with this technique here:

thank you for your answere but this way become to complicated at the end because i will get hundrets of lines. To much work to adjust all of them to there time-position.
Is there no easier way?
I simply want the same order as in the real drawing action. Could not be that difficult!
I can’t belief that the adobe-designer did not think about this basic mission. -
sorry, but motion sketch don’t match to what I am looking for. As i understand it is to create an animation path for a complete layer.
hmm, maybe After Effects is not the right programm!?
