I have an animated circle shape layer with trim paths applied to it and the end percent animated from 0% to 100%. But half way through the animation, the circle path seems to close itself. How can i fix this?

if the circle animation is somehow not visible here, here is the link to imgur: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7zszj.jpg

  • I assume your mask path is a full circle, try to use an outline as mentioned in the answer above.

I can't reproduce your issue on my end, but I can offer an alternative method. Another way to create the circle example you've provided is to use a Radial Wipe effect on the shape layer:

Effect > Transition > Radial Wipe

Just animate transition completion from 0 to 100 percent. If your shape layer is moving, you may also need to pickwhip expression the Wipe Center parameter to your position parameter:

transform.position

I hope this helps you out. Good luck!
