Traffic Lines
Ok, so I have a green screened car appearing to drive. What I need to create is lines whizzing by the car. The illusion is that the camera is circling the car while it’s driving. I plan on warping and distorting the line sequence after I have it to make it look like it’s going along with the car when it moves BUT: What is the best way to have a continual stream of lines (ideally there would be up six on screen at any given moment. Can I use the card wipe, or does using an expression to loop black solids (shaped as lines) going across the screen make more sense? Any insight would be much MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

I have no idea what you’re seeing in your head but all you need is a looping movie of simulated road lines? White or yellow?
You can create a text layer that uses six m-dashes, animate the margin.
In order form them to appear to loop, the first one only has to get as far as the second one. Umm, that’s not very clear. Looping is an easy thing to do but establishing the loop point is confusing. But you see that all six dashes are exactly the same? You don’t have to get dash one to loop around to dash 6, you just need to create the illusion that dash 2 takes over for dash 1.ONce you have this short movie rendered, you can import it and set it to loop (or use a loop expression before rendering). You can add a solid yellow line on one side or the other to add
some no passing zones.bogiesan.
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Wow, that was profoundly unhelpful. But you tried. Thanks.
