Track line by it’s two ends (look like a spiderweb)

[David Bogie]

Christine, how does one go from “tracking a line” to a spiderweb? I have no idea what you’re seeing in your head so wipe your nose and try rephrasing the question. (You’re being issued a ticket by the Grammar Police: it’s is the contraction, not the possessive)

you may be looking for the beam effect.

it will connect 2 points with a line. those 2 beam points can be attached (via the position expression pickwhip) to nulls (or other layers) that could be tracking points on a clip if that is what you are looking for.

Thanks Kevin! That was so simple…

Oh. That’s different. Glad we got that cleared up. So all you want to do is connect the dots?
Try Glue Gun (needs a mask or other path) and Lightning, too.
Do you have any other plug packages? Delerium has a great laser effect, similar to beam, but more stuff to tweak.

Bonjour Christina,

Si tu veux tracker un detail dans ton video pour ensuite attacher les point d’ancrage de l’effet beam, tu dois utiliser le tracker de AE, si tu as CS4 je te conseil d’utiliser mocha qui vient avec CS4, il est beaucoup plus efficace, il y a des tutos sur internet.
Si ça peu t’aider.

Oui, merci, j’ai eu ce que je voulais simplement avec le beam effect. C’est drôle ça, tu dois connaître Matt Dumont, stagiaire chez Alt:P
