Let s All Do the Wave

Let's All Do the Wave

Need a wavy line? Try this:

1. Make a solid the width of your comp (i.e. 720 pixels wide) but only 10 or 20 pixels high.

2. Set the layer quality switch to high.

Then apply the Distort>Warp effect. Choose Flag for the Warp Style then keyframe Bend changing from -100 to 100 over the course of a second. Option click (Alt click) Bend's stopwatch and add the following expression:

3. loopOut("cycle", 0)

4. This will make the wave loop so that it waves over and over again.

5. Finally, duplicate the effect (not the layer) five or six times to heighten the wave.
