Move Text or object along a curved trajectory

[Dave Brooker]

Having moved from Keynote on Mac to PTEAVStudio11 on Mac, having problems replicating some actions.  Is there an easy way of replicating the text movement on the attached mp4 and the transition wiping the blue line please?

For a curved trajectory for the text you may work with oscillation modifiers (versions 10 and 11). Alternatively, with version 11 you may try to work with 3 or 4 keyframes and the new modifier Smooth Move. The line along the coast: Here I would work with a mask.

Many thanks, using a few keyframes and Smooth Move works!  Need to investigate Masks now...
