Shape Distortion – Radial Percentage Counter

What we’re making:

  1. Make a new Shape layer on the timeline. Make it a donut (no fill, maybe 30px stroke).
  2. Under the Contents submenu for the shape, click the little button beside Add and select Trim Paths.
  3. Tinker with the Start and End variables to get a line that animates around in a loop. For instance, a “loader” donut would be:
    • Start point A – 0%
    • Start point B – 0%
    • End point A – 0%
    • End point B – 100%
