1) loopOut - create shape in and animate going from bottom to half of the screen then, create new exp. and type loopOut("offset"), the animation will continue till view diappears
2) index expression - create triangle in shape layer, click polystar - polystar path - type - points create expr. and type index + 1 or click layer, hit R, and index + 60 - 60 will rotate each layer 60 degrees (if you have 6 layers)
3) clamp expression - creat triangle, add Slider control, click polystar and points, alt click stopwatch near x value, write clamp( and with pickwhip slider value) clamp(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"), 0, 30) You can now use keyframes with slider change number of points in the shape Animate position from left to achieve great effect.
1) Import footage and create new shape / text 2) Then create null object 3) select the clip -> Tracker -> Track motion (move the point to the contrast spot) 4) Click analyze forward 5) Select clip -> edit target -> select null -> apply 6) drag from the swirl button in the shape layer to the null object
(parent of the null must be footage and parent of the shape / text must be null)
