Object Along Path Animation in After Effects

In After Effects, it is very easy to give motion to an object in line with the line you draw. A rocket moving in the direction of the line you set, a fish moving in an aquarium or a vehicle moving on the road are animations obtained in the same logic.

The important thing here is to make the object move in the direction of the line as well as following the angles of the line.

Let’s get our object ready. In this tutorial I’m using a paper airplane vector, let’s draw a line in After Effects.

We will use this line as our reference. Then we can place the object on the line and make it look like it is actually moving along the line.
