  • move and rotate a mask along a path……..

    Posted by Dorian Kingsley on March 11, 2010 at 2:53 pm

    Hallo every one!
    Finally I have no idea what else I can try and I didn´t found anything in the internet, so I hope that someone here can help me…..

    I´d like to do an similar animation as you can do with text:
    A text follows a path AND ROTATES in the curves.
    For example:
    Effect -> Text -> Path Text
    or
    by animating the “First Margin” property in a Text Layer

    BUT! Not with text! I´d like to do it with a Mask, Shape Layer or an image! Is that possible?
    At the End I want to have many arrows following a path…..

    Thank you very much for any suggestions!
    Dorian.

    You can turn a mask that you’ve drawn into a motion path.
    Your shape layer can follow a motion path.

    I have already read this, but thanks anyway! Unfortunately this isn´t what I was looking for. I´d like the object also to rotate depending to the path. Not only to change the position. Just like you can do it with text.
