Paint Ball

An organic moving paint ball that you can keyframe or set to follow another layer.

Tutorial, 0:17

Paint Ball gives you an organic moving paint ball with very little setup.

Apply it to a solid layer, then adjust the settings in Effect Controls. Either keyframe the ball’s position or give it a layer to follow. If it follows a layer, set Paint Ball Position to 0,0, otherwise the ball will be offset.

To install, drop the .ffx into your After Effects User Presets folder under Shapes, refresh the Effects and Presets list, and it appears under Animation Presets, User Presets, Shapes.
