Animating Paint

Short cuts:

Keypad num 0 = play/ RAM PREVIEW

Home = First frame

First open a Paint workspace.
In bottom composition window, right click new > solid...
Choose the options and colour, click ok.
Draw a line.
Go to effects > Paint.
Add keyframe for the Start option change the percentage for two frames so when it plays it plays the line being drawn. Use End option to move the line in the other direction, Start needs to be on zero.
You can click and drag the yellow markers in the timeline (workspace area) to change the lenght of the video.

On main composition right click, keying > Extract. This will open new window with options such as removing colours and adding softness.
