help needed for the stroke effect
I have been trying to get this effect from a long long time, i have been using after effects from the past 5 months. I wanted to animate a stroke (i.e the end parameter) and make the camera follow it in different axiz maybe rotation too.
Pls help -

Subject: Re: how make object follow pathHere’s one way. Let’s say your layer with the stroked path is called “Stroke Layer”. Copy the mask shape for the path and paste it into the position parameter of your follower layer. This should create keyframes that cause the follower to trace out the path over a 2-second period. Then just add this expression for position to sync it up with the animation of the “End” parameter of the stroke effect:
percent = thisComp.layer(“Stroke Layer”).effect(“Stroke”)(“End”);
valueAtTime(2*percent/100)Dan
