Question

Graph

Hello, I am hoping someone can answer, point me in which direction can I learn and work.

I am using Adobe Animate to animate such "graph" to "load" from A to B. (see attachment). What tool can i use to draw those bars gradually getting longer without distorsion or draw from scratch? If you look at the short lines, you can see a little bit weird distorsion and the lines don't follow the gray line.  

I can also use Illustrator, After effects.

I hope my question is clear.

 

Kind regards, Nejc

You're going to have to draw them at full size, then reveal them with a rotating mask.

Thank you ClayUUID,

 

I suppose rotation mask in After Effects?

No, I'm pretty sure he means mask in Flash/Animate.

 

Since you only have semi-circles this is very easy to achieve.

 

You rotate the semi-circle symbol (Graphic), while the mask is static over them.

 

ps. Correction - 'arc', not 'semi-circle'
