  • stroke a circle – continuously

    Posted by Ktpmm5 on November 7, 2005 at 3:30 pm

    OK, dump question, but I have a mask in the shape of a circle, and am using Render/Stroke with a stop and start point so the small stroke travels around the circle. Now I want to have the stroke loop around the circle continuously – is there a simpler way than setting start and stop keyframes for the length of my comp?

    You might consider using Vegas. Its intent is to put swirly lines around masks.

    Hi,

    Apply the following expression to your Start and End parameters:

    loopOut(“cycle”,1);

    Salut.
