Hi Manuel, awesome tutorial. I followed along and struggled at this part 4:48, because I was following you visually, but the position of the nulls in your case was different from mine, according to the first vertex. Also I created my rectangles in a different position and the generated nulls weren't where they should be, then I found out I had to zero the path position in the transform:path before applying the Create Nulls From Paths. Working with Shapes is tricky, there are a lot of issues that we only solve by practicing.

I'm trying to make a logo reveal using a modified version of the "cube" at 2:18. I cannot find a method to get a text layer to adhere to the null controls so that the proper perspective is maintained. Any ideas?

[SumeetK-jgyw]

is there any reason why are using scle inside on content rectangle scale, not using simply "S" for scale?

[rizkgerges]

why when i create null from path and i choose points follow nulls, the rectangle of the nulls is big and away from the point or the vertex ? how to fix that ? thank you

[rizkgerges]

Please i was searching every video how to make a rectangle move as arc way .... thank you

[DylanThomas-zv]

Great tutorial. What was the very last thing you did? It was moving too fast for me to catch it and you didn't explain it at all. Thanks.

[stefanopanfili]

Hi Manuel, I love your tuts!!! Just a question for the TRACE PATH script: if I want to change the direction? Is it possible?
Thank you!

even after watching 100s of videos by other motion artists, they never talked about this secret.
