After Effects | Creating Line Tracers Between Two Nulls

In taking tutorial requests, Joey Korenman demonstrates how to connect two nulls in After Effects with a line – a simple task in Cinema 4D that takes a bit more effort in AE.

Sometimes things that seem like they should be simple to do in After Effects require some a little more work than you’d think

Using the beam effect in After Effects and adding some expressions to each end, it is possible to connect a line between two nulls. Joey takes it one step further and show how to make a quick rig using expression controls that will make it easier to create this tracer effect.
