    You can copy a mask and paste it to position keyframes. If you use that same mask as a stroke on another layer, you’ll have your effect.

    Also, you can move the layer first, and pick-whip it’s position to the position of the write-on point on another layer. That way a line will be drawn following the motion of the layer.
