After Effects Tutorial: Animate Lines and Shape Outlines (Easy)

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Hey friends! Just popping in here. I realize the music is very loud and distracting, I apologize! I made this video 3 years ago, and I wasn't thinking 😅But, if this is unbearable for you, I found some alternative tutorials that can help: Animate Lines: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmXgGiQoLSlrqcsi=qW3n8dvBOnnlsdNI

[@dejazO0]

i think you can change the start point of animation in box and circles using offset 🤔

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Glad this helped!

[@VigneshReyARTS]

Nice Explanation Mam 👏🏼

[@johnnada]

No one told me about the ad button. Thank you!

[@fueroxamino9430]

I don't have the add button even when I activate the switches option. Any tip ?

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Hi there! That is very odd. The add button should show up on all shape layers. You will need to click the Arrow on the left side of the layer, and then Add should show up on the right side beside "Contents". The only other thing I can think of is make sure to update After Effects? Maybe you have a really old version.

[@LessEdiits]

Were do I find the fill and stroke options!!!???

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Hi Alex, go to 0:48 seconds of the video.

[@TheNotSoChibiRobo]

seeing how you're very kind and tend to respond to your comments I have a question... Can you make pointy lines in after effects? i´m kinda struggling to make lines as threads to animate, I'd be really grateful if someone can help me to make pointy lines

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Any chance you can link me to an example of what you're talking about?

[@PauloRocka]

freakin' A!!! Saved the day. Thanks!

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Yay I'm happy to hear that Paulo!

[@itsNinjaKiddo]

You're very welcome Josh!

[@stevesmede3165]

2:35 no add button for me

[@stevesmede3165]

actuall no contents tab at all

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Hey @stevesmede3165 - sorry to hear you are having trouble. On the layer, on the left of the file name should be a coloured square and an arrow pointing to the right. When you click the arrow, the contents tab should show up. Another thing to consider is: are you sure you are working with a shape layer and not a vector layer? Try converting your AI Vector Layer to a shape layer using the Layer>Create menu. Hope this helps, and if anyone else has insight on this issue, please don't hesitate to comment below!

[@cagarcia04]

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Hehehe thank-you! You got it :) We've got an awesome After Effects playlist on our channel, so definitely check it out!

[@POHreeg]

What about a triangle?

[@YouWantPizzazz]

Hey there! Here's how to create a triangle: 1 - Instead of choosing a square or a circle, choose the Polystar shape. The shape will look like a pentagon. 2 - Open up the layer settings once it's on your timeline. Contents -> Polystar 1 -> Polystar Path 1 3 - There should be an option to change the number of points! Change the value to 3 and voila! 4 - Follow the rest of the tutorial using the triangle shape! :)

[@POHreeg]
