Masking Illustrator Paths in AE
I have some swirly designs of varying widths made in Illustrator. What is the best way to animate these in AE so that they look like they are being drawn on? I have copied and pasted the paths into AE as masks. Some of these are complex however and in AE they show up as having multiple masks. All I can think to do is work backwards, deleting points in the mask. However, that seems like it will take a while. Is there something easier that I am overlooking?
Thanks for any help!

stroke seems to work perfectly. I knew there was something!

Stroke is the standard, but Scribble and Audio Waveform (with no audio) are interesting.

Yikes, I forgot to mention Vegas.
Scribble will stroke all masks at once, you probably wan “Centered Edge”, and paly with Stroke Options, it very adjustable.
Vegas and Audio Waveform will only do one mask at a time, so you’d need the effect on each mask. Audio Wave form is more like neon and coes with inside and ourside colors.
