Dan,

What were the expressions again for the position values that you used for each of the two null objects so that the null object followed the end value of the stroke?

Thanks,
Victor

Thanks, Dan. I’ll try again.

Thanks for the response. When I put that expression into Null 2’s position it gives a warning so I put this expression:

pct = thisComp.layer(“Shape Layer 1”).content(“Trim Paths 1”).end;
thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).transform.position.valueAtTime(2*pct/100);

But when I put that expression into Null 2’s position area, all that happens is Null 2 becomes linked to the same exact position as Null 1. Also, I set offset to 0.

Thanks,
Victor

Thank you.

Thanks for responding Dan. I made a portion of a line, created from a shape layer, animate by keyframing start and end percentages and changing the offset position from a trim paths animator. I want to be able to attach a null object to the head of the line animation as it moves forward. However, I’m not sure how I’m able to calculate the position as it moves forward in the line I drew in the shape layer. How would I go about attaching a null object to the head of the line animation as it moves forward?

Thanks,
Victor

I was able to figure it out, I think. I configured my drive sharing privileges and that seemed to do the trick.

I figured it out. You have to put a plus sign beforehand in order to advance the playhead forward however long of time you want. To put the plus sign on my system you need to press shift + control then “+”.

It works when I put a negative value, but not when I put a positive value.

Thanks! That sounds awesome.

Thanks! How many projects/scenes/pieces did you end up with for your portfolio?

Thanks,
