  • Connect Mask Point to keyframed Null

    Hi there.

    I’m using the saber Plugin by Andrew Cramer and I want to have the start and end point of the generated saber move along with two nulls I tracked. I eccentially want to connect a specific mask point to a null with keyframed animation so that the Saber stickt to the tracked footage.

    Anyone Ideas?

    Cheers

    Steve

    There’s a built-in tool in after effects to do this:

    Window -> Create Nulls from Path

    Hi Filip

    I saw that, but the saber plugin wants masks and not paths on a shapelayer. Anyway to transform an animated patch to an animated mask?

    Cheers

    Steve

    The script works for both masks and shapes.
