    I’m talking about the lines that animate in and out, they have a fill color and a stroke color, but still gets animate in its shape, anyone who can help me?

    Funnily enough, I just stumbled upon how to create this exact effect yesterday.

    1. Make a new layer.
    2. Draw a mask spline on that layer.
    3. Apply the Stroke effect to create your “fill”. Make the Brush Hardness 100% and animate as desired. Set the Paint Style to “On Transparent”.
    4. Right-click on the layer and select Layer Styles => Stroke

    You should be good to go.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Or just use shape layers and the Trim Paths operation.
