Painting on a Canvas
I’m working on an art project and for part of it I’m planning on taking the andy warhol marilyn monroe picture. Breaking it up into separate layers (Face, Eyes, Mouth, Nose, Hair) and then doing a reveal in after effects using paint/stroke to make it appear as if it is being painted. Just like in some projects you make it look like a signature is being written (using strokes and paths.
As far as I can tell Paint in AE doesn’t record brush strokes but only the finish matte…
What would be the best way to make it appear as if the picture is painting itself..
The other option I can think of is Record the entire desktop, erasing the painting layer by layer.. then playing the file in reverse in AE to help give me the effect.
What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks

AE does record brush strokes in the Vector Paint….you need to hold down the shift key to have it remember the strokes while you are painting…then you need to set it animate strokes in the effect panel. There are various options for shift-paint records in the options of vector paint, such as recording the strokes in realtime. To control the speed after the record, you can play around with the playback speed in the effects panel.

Thanks Mark that did just what I needed it to do.
I wasn’t able to get it to play back multiple strokes.. it seemed to want to play the strokes all at once vs one at a time.But I was able to pull it off with either a really long single stroke.. or break the clip up into multiple snippets and then pait each one in turn.
Thanks again
