Which part of the animation are you having trouble with?

Another technique:

Depending on the line, one can mask it with an appropriate shape and then animate the mask to reveal the line.
A tip: drop the opacity of the mask while keyframing it so you can see the line under it as you work.
You can also rotate the mask so the end of the line stays ‘square’.

Personally, I think the motion path and a small circle previously mentioned is the best approach and can handle any line shape.

Thanks Noah.

This is a great computer and I have no regrets with the purchase, but I do recall reading an Apple statement that this G5 can handle 10 streams of uncompressed video at once. What was Apple referring to when they made that statement? I’m genuinely curious about this.

My system specs:

2.5 Dual G5 w/1.5 Gigs RAM
OS 10.3.9

Thanks Jim.

Maybe that’s something for Motion 3.

Thanks Noah.

Actually I will be upgrading to ‘Universal Studio’ from Motion 2 and was posting to find out if I will be without QT Pro till that arrives (or spend the $30), so you answered my question.
