I am using Anime studio debut 6
I would like to animate a simple line as if on a map

If I create keys the complete line appears at each key and I would like to do this as a slow progressive line

thanks in advance

Do a forum search on "layer trail":
animating a hand with drawing pen
Write On Effect

I know you are on debut 6, but just to clarify if someone with version 7 read it, in version 7 you can use the curve exposure tool, which is much more simpler to use than the layer trail (and without hundreds of keyframes).

Guys, there are some things Animator does really well, but tracing routes on a map isn't one of them. Instead, use Route Generator (free from http://www.routegenerator.net/).
