Glad I could help!

This is incredible. Absolute perfection. No condescension of other designers. No faff. Just the pros and cons, and a great overview and guide of this technique and it's potential.

THIS. I can't believe how long I've been in After Effects and have never been able to figure out this one technique. I've seen it everywhere but could never reasonably replicate it until this video. Thank you!!

Very efficient and easy to follow. You're a blessing to beginners like me. I totally agree on using this rather than the beam that needs expression (i know it's not to be disregarded tho) because it just makes the process a lot easier to understand and do. Took me just about a minute after I watched this. Subbed 😊

Lovely tutorial! I've been using the beam effect to connect callout signs, realizing that there's probably a much better way but being too lazy to figure out how. You explained it brilliantly, thanks!

Love it! Simple, easy, no messy writing you could fail on, no hotkeys not shown. GREAT EXAMPLE! :D

Love how specific this video is! Thank you for saving me from the beam effect :)

Amazing!! I wish I would have found your video first, I could have saved myself hours of editing, testing and frustration. Kudos!!

Excellent tutorial - great production and delivery. Also great to hear a north-west accent on one of these!

THANK SO MUCH my friend, today you saved my life, thank you again from Argentina.

In the last example you can also delete the null objects, and choose the circle layers in the effect controls panel for a cleaner timeline ;)

Thank you so much!

Wow! Thank you so so much! It is absolutely amazing and advanced way to do it! Appreciate you are sharing your experience with us!

Thanks. Wasted my 4 hours on trying to get beam effect to work. This worked in 2 minutes.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I've been trying to find a way to just draw a line and specify the coordinates of the ends. I thought it was going to have to be "Beam Effect" and actually found your video when looking for information on how to configure it. (It seems to have a "glow" or "halo" that I can't get rid of!) I am subscribing and will definitely be seeing what other tips you have.

Thank you very much! Is there any way to connect an object to the middel of the stroke while the nulls are connected and moving?

This is great, thank you. I'm wondering if I can tweak it to have a line that I created do the same thing - I'm trying to animate scans of watercolour elements and so have a 'line' but it's really a bitmap...so essentially I'd like to be able to do the equivalent of having an anchor point for each end of the line follow the nulls...

Hello, first of all, thank you for the education. I've just started the program. In this tutorial, how does Map Maker follow the movement of the world in the same place without changing its location? I would be very grateful if you could explain this. Thanks

OMG I love you

YES THANK YOU, 3D lines!

Cool! its posible that depth of field affects the lines? Thanks!

who the man? thiss guyyyy

\m/ thanks :)

wow

how did you get the London target to rotate with the world?

Bro, mind to ask is there a way to make a line attach to another line in the middle, which doesn’t have the block on that point?

The beam effect is still useful for a more controlled line with the inner and outer colors and the taper but yes overall for most cases that technique is old.

@MadeByLoop

Жыл бұрын

That's a good point! I'd still probably lean towards shape layers in those scenarios though especially as you can now taper strokes! The inner and outer colours could probably be achieved with layer styles or duplicating the shape path too

The audio is very low mate. A tremendous idea though. I absolutely loved it.

What if you already have your null objects (because google earth studio generated them) and you want to do it the other way around, connect them with a line in 3D space, can it be done ? 😮

это позволяет соединять много линий

Omg! Beam was driving me crazy

Great, but we can't have "bezier" anymore with the line between the 2 points...

great tutorial! Now, I tried duplicating (line and nulls) as I wanted three separate lines, re-parenting to other objects, but that's not working and I'm not finding it as easy to figure out.. for now I'm having to do the whole thing for each new line, any tips appreciated tnx :)

When you duplicate things I think you need to update the expressions linked to all the controllers so that they reference the correct ones. It can be a pain and often just re-running the script is quicker

Can you attach them to text layers position?

@MadeByLoop

Yep, just parent the null to the text layer and you should be good to go.
