  • Abstract Vector Animation for Background

    Posted by Seth Albee on September 10, 2015 at 1:52 am

    Hey guys,

    This is the first post I’ve made with a new account. I have used the Creative Cow AE form as a resource for a couple years now and was hoping you guys could help me once again.

    I am working on a short motion graphic piece in which most of the graphics have been provided by the client– my job being to animate them. They have provided this abstract vector art for the the background.

    I guess I imagine all the shapes to slowly change shape and scale. A very subtle motion that would look better than a just a static image.

    My question is, once I convert the vector into a shape layer there will be dozens of paths, is there an expression I could use to put a slow wiggle on all the paths?

    -Seth

    My AE machine is in the middle of a render or I would test this.

    There is a “copy expression only” option. You could try that then highlight all the properties you wish to paste the expression to and choose paste.

    See if that works. 🙂
