Adding Dashes to a stroke property lets you set dash length, gap length, and animate the offset to create a marching ants or moving dash effect.
2. Which feature lets text move along a custom path?
The Path Options in a text layer let characters follow a mask or shape path.
3. What is the function of the 'Anchor Point' property in After Effects animations?
The Anchor Point determines the center of rotation and scaling transformations for a layer.
4. What does the 'Time Remapping' feature allow?
Time Remapping keyframes a layer's internal time to alter its speed or direction.
5. What is Blur's opposite?
In image processing and visual effects, 'Sharpen' is the direct opposite of 'Blur.' While blur effects reduce detail and soften edges, sharpen effects enhance detail and increase contrast along edges, making an image appear crisper and more defined. Both are common image manipulation techniques used to adjust visual clarity.
6. Which panel lets you adjust the velocity and easing of keyframes with curves?
The Graph Editor displays value and speed curves for fine-tuning keyframe interpolation.
