After Effects: How To Use Trim Paths to Animate a Dashed Line on a Map

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you Mike! Clearly and simply explained without any unnecessary stuff. Also, your keyboard shortcut mentions were very helpful. Cheers from Hungary

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Glad it helped! Happy Holidays!

[@jadino_bambino]

The keyboard shortcut was the greatest! I have seen so many tutorials where they don't even mention that stuff at all! Well commented and I've subscribed 👍

Hi mike! In After Effects, for me, trim paths for basic shapes don't work the way I want them to. Normally, it should go from left to right or right to left, however in my instance, the fill in the shape is being trim pathed in a clockwise way starting from the bottom left corner.

[@MikeMurphyCo]

That is typical with Shapes with Fill. Trim Paths works best on Strokes.

[@GoaltoGold]

@@MikeMurphyCo Oh yes! You're right! I figured it out. I truly appreciate it, Mike! You saved me once again; thank you.

What a coincidence, I was born in Naples FL even though I live in Spain now!

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Awesome! Naples is still paradise 🌴

my guy, you have all your panels or buttons or whatever arranged personally. I open up this software for the first time, and you have a bunch of stuff in differences places. Use the default layout next time to make it easier for beginners. I can't even find where I turn off Fill :(

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Thanks for the feedback. 👍👍

[@jessuh7500]

@@MikeMurphyCo i figured out you have to create a shape layer to get the option to turn off fill. Maybe the tutorial is more for intermediate instead of beginners like me

[@MikeMurphyCo]

@@jessuh7500 My tutorials are very beginner and user friendly, but if just opened AE for the first time, there will be a learning curve. Be patient and have fun learning and creating. 👍

If I wanna make it repeat itself as long as i want how do i do that

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Can you explain more about what you are wanting to do? What do you want to repeat longer?

[@robertotejeda838]

@@MikeMurphyCo nvm, it was the loop out duration expression. I forgot about the name

[@Jaa_morant]

bro can it be done in adobe premier?

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Trim Paths is not in Premiere Pro, but you could ‘Replace with After Effects Comp’ and go from Premiere to After Effects and back. 👍

What is Dashed line animation sound effect? Please mention.

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Here is a free resource that I’m sure you could find a sound to match the animation you are working on. 👍 freesound.org/

[@JuberAhmed]

@@MikeMurphyCo Dear Sir, Can you mentioned title of sound effect. I found on many sites and youtube. But i still can't find. ☹️

[@JuberAhmed]

@@MikeMurphyCo thanks for replying

[@MikeMurphyCo]

@@JuberAhmed It is hard for me to recommend a sound effect without knowing what you are creating. Here is a video from a great tutorial maker that may help you find better search terms or ideas to find a sound that you are looking for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYXEo4Cnp8eWba8

instead of dotted lines how can we use vectors of left and right foot to make it look like" Mickey mouse walked from one place to another" Making footmarks

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Not sure I can answer that in a comment, but will add it to my tutorial list. Thx!
