Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial you’ll be creating elegant glowing lines using shape layers within After Effects. We’ll create a few basic arc layers and then stylize them by using the find edges effect, glows, and blending modes. I enjoy this technique and you can easily adapt this concept to many different shapes to create some stunning looks.

    Nive tut but what kind of music is this?

  • Mykl

    I swear at 3:22 or so the song is sampling “Predator” lines…

    Anyway, it is a good tutorial, and I thought that the music while it was distracting at times it was good to have something to keep me involved during the what in other standard tuts would be dead air.
