    Hi!

    I’m trying to create a small animated infographic of how the banking system works. I thought I would represent the flow of money between the banks with dollar bills moving along a path. What’s the best way to create an infinite stream of objects along a path that loops indefinitely in After Effects?

    a simple method would be to use motion tile…

    create a dollar bill graphic in photoshop (or similar) and drop that into a comp, scale that down to about the size you need and then add motion tile to it.

    adjust the output width as needed and then animate the tile center property to make them move. to add a little space between the bills, add grow bounds prior to motion tile.

    Sounds like a typical job for Rakka.
