    I couldn’t find a post on this. Can someone direct me? I have a road map and want to animate a line of arrows going around it. One way I thought of is to copy/paste the ILL path to the position of one arrow and “align to path” but I want the “tail” of the arrow to bend around the corners.

    Any thought?

    You might have to combine a Vegas effect with a text-on-path using arrow dingbats.

    I thought there were some posts on this, in the archives under “arrow” …

    I didn’t even think of using Vegas along with dingbats. I did accomplish it using a couple precomps and the echo effect. But that seemed render heavy so I’ll test the vegas way as well.
