You can use the Beam effect to do this with some pretty basic expressions on the start and end.

Apply these two expressions to your beam effect.

This goes to the start point

L = thisComp.layer(“startLayer");
L.toComp (L.anchorPoint);

And this to the end point

L = thisComp.layer(“endLayer");
L.toComp (L.anchorPoint);

Make sure to change the names of the layer to the layers you want to connect.

Hope this helps

I want to use this new AE script "Create Nulls from Paths" to draw lines between two points and I have a couple questions:

1. Can I get a simple line to -overshoot- the nulls? (see image) https://i.imgur.com/sAxq0LU.png

2. I want to draw lines between layers -- not nulls (I don't need nulls and they clutter up my timeline). But I can't seem to modify the script to relink the line shape to layers in my scene. If I try, the script breaks or ceases functioning. Is there any way to modify the expression so that my line draws between layers of my choosing?
