Animating dotted lines...
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a quick way of creating a dotted line animation other than...
create new frame - add dot - create new frame - add dot- create new frame - add dot- create new frame - add dot- create new frame - add dot- create new frame - add dot- create new frame - add dot
Which is obviously a bit dull and repetitive.
Thanks

Hi,
Not sure you mean that but maybe on the first frame could place all the dots, and a named rectangle which has the same colour like the background, would move over them and making appear the next and next one.
So the technique as Gare showed on XaraXone in May: http://www.xaraxone.com/tutorials/return-to-animation/

That's an idea - I'll take a look, thanks!

Use 3 'sets' of dots; show each set sequentially.

Re: Animating dotted lines...
The concept that cshez cited has lots of uses, and it works very well.
What Fred shows works very well too.

Great thanks. I went with the 3 dots/dashes combined with a clipview clone over the original photo which I pulled back to reveal the dashes as per Gare's vid.
Thanks again.
