180 Arch Animated

#1

Hey guys, im doing a project in 3ds max and i want to do something in after effects. I am extremly new to after effects but am a max user to years. All i want to do is have a red line start180 degrees straight up along the goal line, pivot dead center of hockey net and animate in an arc to the other goal line. Can anyone point me in right direction on how to do this?

Draw a path, use the Vegas Effect with that path.

#3

how do i set the pivot for the redline dead center of the net so that when i rotate it keeps that part in same spot but moves line across path

Thanks Nick
