Thank you. I made a nice trend line animation using this approach.

[@NileshParmar]

Quick and clean tuts. ❤

[@jeremyjohngraham]

Love it man, thanks! I also pick-whipped the beam's starting and ending thickness to the scale of the first and second circle, so changing their circles' scales makes the beam adjust, for a sweet 3D effect! Now the hard (and fun) part, deciding how to use this power -- right now I'm into a project using simple shapes, riffing on the concept of "connection", so I needed this!

Can this not be done with shape layers? I want the connective lines to be dotted.

[@UserTenNumbers]

Why is the beam I made at to the top of the solid layer when I pick whip to the shapes layer at the middle bottom

[@CyanSilver]

Thanks mate, that was super useful ! Is it possible tho to connect two dots using kind of a "double bond' between them ?

[@nooster125]

great tutorial but is there a way to make it a dotted line?

[@VIBESCONNECT]

My connecting line somehow gets placed perpendicular to the two dots that I select. It floats in between the two wiggling dots. Can someone help?

[@ShawnWagar]

Will this work in 3D space?

[@klichmichael1442]

"Control D" is dublicating Layers and objects directly in AE, you don´t need to use Control C/V...

[@DigitantMedia]

Yeeeaaah maaaan!

[@andreiromulus]

Hey Michael where is this button the @ to pair i cant find it

[@Michael_Tierney]

Maybe try hitting the "Toggle Switches / Modes" right at the bottom of the screen.

[@motionfilmes5264]

I would like to Know how to connect several dots and they move sincronised.

[@erintroch6819]

just set all your shapes on the same shape layer, that should work :)

[@videolocapro2905]

hi, sorry but..which version of Adobe you have? (i've AE cc2015) cause i don't have the symbol of parent near the starting point in BEAM... if i push on the clock it creats the first kf you know... and it turns on blu...but nothing else... no little spiral

[@indigooo3d]

You need a newer version

[@videolocapro2905]
