Animation - Loading Glass
Hey! This post's a little over two years old now, so some of what's here might be out of date. Still worth a read, but if anything really matters to you, it's worth double-checking against a newer source too.
About Loading Glass
Loading glass is a simple five-second animation that I have created in Adobe After Effects. After viewing a tonne of loading animations on both Dribbble and Behance, I felt inspired to have a go at creating my own animation! The original icon was made using Adobe Illustrator. I then imported the SVG file as a layer into the composition and converted the layer into a shape layer. With the shape layer now created, I applied a trim paths effect to the shape. Modifying the keyframes to ease in the end from 0% to 100%, and applying a rotation before reversing. Although the loading glass animation is short and simple, it is a step in the right direction for learning about Adobe's products and how they intertwine.
