Animated Line

NickM wrote on 4/21/2003, 7:50 AM

Is there an easy way to make an animated line in Vegas--one that could be put over a map to show a travel route? I know you could do it in Photoshop and just stick a bunch of images, one after the next, to make it look like it's moving, but is there something that would look better?
Thanks,
Nick

There actually was a tutorial on how to do just this thing, I can't remember exacly where it was though, but I believe I found it somewhere in the Creative Cow Vegas forums, I'll do some searching to see if I can find it.

Check out the chienworks site to download a prog that does just that.

Hi,

My sites down right now, but the fast and dirty way is to make two graphics; one without the line and one with.

Then you can wipe between the two and the line is the only apparent change.

Illustration, discussion, and download link are there. Beware that even though version 1.1 is available, the README file is still for version 1.0. Oops. I'm on vacation this week so maybe i'll get a chance to do some updating.
