How do I do this?
I am trying to get an image (a little dot photo that I made in Photoshop) to make a line from Point A to Point B in about 3 or 4 seconds. But I am unsure how to do so. If you are not sure what I am asking, here is a screen shot: https://gyazo.com/b81a08f7820eca3a010071550429efa9
I am trying to get the blue dot to make many blue dots in a line from where it is, to Elektrozavodsk. Does anyone know how I can do this.
Sorry if there is a certain forum section for this sort of thing, I am new here.

What I would do is ,
1. import that ‘dotted line’ image into after efects as a new layer…
2. Create a mask and animate the mask.this mite be a mad idea…
A better idea is:
1. import the ‘Dotted line’ image as a layer in a new composition.
2. go to effets / Generate / write-on…Thats all you can animate the dot-line within your desired time…

If the dots can be dashed instead of round, you can easily create them with the dash and gap properties of a shape layer’s stroke:
Otherwise, you might use a particle emitter like Particular, with a motion path emitter and a custom particle texture.
