    Hello. I need some help creating a continuous line traveling from scene to scene that will animate an image in the scene and then travel to the next scene. Any suggestions of tutorials, or templates would be greatly appreciated!
    Have a great night!

    Hi Seth, sorry I’ve no idea what is happening in your project (animate an image in the scene – travel to the next scene?). Perhaps if you could go into more detail and/or provide images someone may be able to help.

    Make the ‘line’ part a lot easier, and take a look at a script called ‘Speed Lines’.

    Here is an example of 2 of the storyboard frames.

    I’m not sure if this helps. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it!

    You can make a line draw on using the trim paths function. Then you can follow it around by zooming in on it with a camera then panning the camera along with it. Or I’ve done this with a ‘master’ adjustment layer that moves and scales everything along with it. This may be a somewhat messy solution but it works and I’ve used it before.

    Otherwise, as mentioned above, there may be plugins that can do it better.
