Filling a Shape

[Sascha Engel]

Very Confused Q indeed – too long rehearsal, followed by far too long time beyond the screen mixed up Mask and Shpae Layer in my Head. And I wanted to give a Mask layer a Colour Fill, instead of creating a Shape Layer.
Sorry, for the bothering – a black coffee brought me back on track.

Thanx, Dave!

Hi Dave,

another one – I really forgot.
I have a little car moving on a Map. Leaving a trace of the way it did:

1.) How do I activate auto orientate?

2.) Easiest way to leave the trace?

Thanx.

… And a really big one: The auto-orient I seemd to made work, but the brush tool, with which I want to create the line behind the car gives me headache: I can just use it in the Layer Window of the Street Map itsself, but to see the locations, which I wrote on -> seperate layers, I need to see the full composition window, but then I cannot use the brush. What to do?

Thanx in advance, Dave.

Greetz,

Where do I find the Write On effect?
Use an expression to link them? You mean the pick-Whip?

Thanx, Dave! As usual: You are a great help 🙂

Thanx Dave, I got it. Looking very decent now. I will dig into AE Help next time.
But if I do not find it – I will come back to you and the wisdom of the LaRonde 😉

Have a Great Day!
