Guest Tutorial: Animated Lines, Part 1

A few months ago the fine, friendly folks at FXhome approached me about delving into the hitherto largely-untapped possibilities of using HitFilm to make animated lines. Inspired by a tutorial shared by Jay Haynes of the Film Sensei channel, I dove in and had fun. So much fun, in fact, that there’s too much stuff to share in just one video, so we’re splitting it into a two-part series.

Here’s the first part, where I introduce the core technique shared by Jay, various ways to spin that into different looks, and some related-yet-unique options.

Part two is well underway, and will be released before the end of the month. Stay tuned!
