Hi.
I am new to AE and video editing for that matter.
I would like to know if the following is possible. I would like to film a scene at night that will progress from having just the empty background to having light trails, then the pushbike.
I hope to dolly/track parallel to the road, following an imaginery bike (all we see is the BG). Then light trails from where the rear and front lights of a pushbike would be start to appear and track along with the camera, but the bike isn't yet visible, just the lights, as the scene unfolds the light trails continue but begin to merge with the pushbike and person cycling. The end of the shot is the night scene with the bike and a short light trail eminating from the bike before fading out.
I hope this description is clear enough, in my head it is.
Many thanks for any tips, tutorials that might make this possible.
Many thanks.
