Hey, so I recently started with scribbling in AE, and i completly don't know how to create a glowing brush since im drawing on my Layer. I tried adding glow effect to it but it affects whole video and i only want my brush to glow. I wish to create effect similar as here Ofir Shoham (@blottermedia) • Instagram photos and videos

Thanks for any help 🙂

    Ah Ok,

    1- duplicate the video layer go Edit/duplicate

    2- on the new layer start using you brush and draw the stroke you want

    3- after you finish click on Paint on Transparent

    4- now go back to composition view, so you will be able to see your draw on a new layer

    5- now you can add the glow effect on this layer also a fill effect incase you want to change the color

    simply you need to put your brush (animated shapes)  on a separate layer and not on your footage layer,

    anyway check this tutorial to learn more about this technic

    The problem is, brush can only be used in layer panel so i cant draw on different layer becouse i wont be able to see whats on the video.
