Question

dotted line not working properly

Hi!

I'm trying to make a line that is marching ants from point a to point b but no matter what I do to the offset it looks as though the dotted line grows from each individual dot. See video below and notice the first few dots as it moves. I really want just a smooth constant and consistant movement. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this an actual AE shape layer line? Or is it something you imported?

It shouldn't behave the way you descripted.

But I'm assuming you are animating the Offset property inside the Dash
