Easy TRAVEL MAP Effect in DaVinci Resolve 18.5 | Animated Line Tutorial

Okay, super short video today, so, for my  previous video, I made this effect. A dotted   line on a picture that shows a trail that we  walked. You can also do it on a map for example,   you know, to show a travel route. I actually  don't know how to call that effect exactly.   It's basically just an animated line, but  anyway, that doesn't matter, the thing is,   some of you have asked me how I did it, and so, in  this video, I'm going to show you how I did it in   DaVinci Resolve 18.5 and it's super simple you'll  see. okay so select the image of the map in the   timeline and then go to the fusion page and with  the media in node selected here click on this icon   to add a paint node select the polyline stroke  and draw a line the travel route or the trail   just click and drag to make curves and you can use these anchor  handles to fine-tune everything   and here in the brush controls you can change  the color of the stroke the stroke size and the   softness and down here you can change the spacing  to 2 for example to create a dotted line and once   you're done make sure the player head is at frame  0 here so all the way at the start of the clip   then hit this diamond here to create a keyframe  for the ride on effect and set the end value   all the way to zero then put the playhead  at the end of the clip so the last frame   create another keyframe and set the end value back  to one now you have this travel route animation   if you want animation to be finished sooner  then just create that last keyframe sooner   but you can also add an image or  a logo for example like this see   so the image or the logo leads the line what you  have to do is just copy the paint node connect   it go to modifiers here and let's change  the color so you can see what's happening   then set the playhead at the beginning of the  clip and we're going to change the value of   the ride on effect keyframes see it's still a  keyframe here because we just copied this node   and I'm gonna set the end value to 0.001 and  don't forget to set the spacing here back to zero   then set the playhead at the end of the  clip and set the start value to 0.999   see what's happening now so now we have a  different colored dot that's leading the line   and you could leave it like this of course or  you can go to brush controls image and here you   can select one of the preset icons or select  clip here then hit browse and select an image   there we go it looks weird now  but that's just because you have   to do one more thing hit this icon right  here to set the apply mode to merge and   boom that's it thank you so much for  watching and see you in the next one
