Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies. I apologize for the lack of clarity in the original post. What I’m after is this: “I read your description to mean a lot of individual dots moving from one point to another along different motion paths, which is a lot different than his interpretation.”
It looks like Motion Sketch will do it for me. Though I will still have to draw each motion path in AE, I won’t have to add in additional copy/paste steps.
