  • how to animate a line curing up into a spiral

    Posted by Jim Henderson on August 14, 2019 at 8:04 pm

    Hi, I’m new to the forum. Have heard great reviews of the site so wondering if someone could help.

    Hard to explain, but I’m trying to animate a line that curls/spirals up into ball. A bit like those party blowers that you blow and it unwraps and makes that annoying sound! But in reverse.

    Im pretty new to after effects and I thought I could create the effect using the trim path effect but struggling to get the result I want.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Welcome Jim!

    I just stumbled upon your message, and I already had After Effects open so I thought it was easier to show and not tell ????

    Hope you can tweak and use this.
