Nulls from a path are easy. How about creating a (smooth) path in between nulls? I'll show you a small simple expression that will allow you to create smooth lines between any objects in your After Effects project. Especially helpful when nulls are imported from external tools such Google Earth Studio. It's a bit manual, but I couldn't find any other way to do this. In this tutorial I showcase a path between only two nulls, but you can easily extend this logic to create lines between as many nulls as you like. I hope you find it useful.
