Trim paths line animation not working

I'm just learning. Trying to recreate the I Love Lucy opening sequence. I needed a heart outline to draw itself but I cannot get trim paths line animation to work. The line just sits there the whole time. I know this is probably something stupid, so I apologize in advance, but....any help?

You need at least two keyframes on a property to create an animation. I only see one. 

 

Maybe this quick tip I just produced will help you figure it out.

Hello @Noyster2,

Thanks for the question. You might try focusing on the "End" parameter. Set a keyframe at the beginning of the timeline for End and set the value to 0. Move to the second keyframe and set that value to 100. See if that works for you. I sure hope so. Take care.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
