Particles take time to appear, and the stroke may appear before the welding sparks. I have a feeling that you may want to have the video start playing about 1-3 frames before the stroke starts animating. You may find that you need to offset the video when you bring it into AE. – Then go into pIllusion, and paste keyframes as you normally would. – Select the word position (which selects all position keyframes) and choose Edit > Copy. Otherwise it would only get part of the data and the motion would not match. We need this so that particleIllusion will get every single frame of animation from AE. – Next select the position property for the new solid (which selects all keyframes) and choose Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Expression to Keyframes. – Hit Enter on the number pad to confirm the expression.Įven though the expression changes nothing, it’s still there and we need it for the next step. – Next, Alt(option)-Click on the new solid’s position property stop watch – this adds an expression. The new solid’s anchor (center) point should be a perfect match for the front of the stroke as it’s drawn on. If you check you will see that they are animating together. – Next, on the new solid, drag the last position keyframe to line it up with the Stroke effects last End keyframe. If you don’t know about that, watch my tutorial here at the cow covering that. The position keyframes are created as roving keyframes. This create position values that create a motion path that matches the Stroked mask shape. – Select the word position and choose Edit > Paste – Select the new solid, and hit P to reveal the position property. – Create a new Solid layer the same size as the stroked layer (I assume it’s the same size as the comp). – Select the layer with the stroke effect. If you have more than 2 keyframes, and that causes it to change speed, this will not work. This assumes that your stroke effect is animated with 2 keyframes, and doesn’t change speed.
