    ye but when i download the project file it says 1 file is missing 🙁
    might just be me :s

    this is a quote from another who had trouble : Figured it out with some help from a few people, even though I didn’t specifically see it in the tutorial your Mask Shape needs to be animated in order to see the echo affect the width of the stroke, simply animating the start and end points doesn’t do it.

    hmm anyway thx for reply , ill keep working on it 🙁
