Create scrolling airline

Another quick way to make dotted lines.
Use a file with some sound on it (not playing), or the Audio Tone Generator (in Open Other).

If you want the dots to be longer just copy/paste the same filter a few times. I added color to each filter instance.

Can’t forget about dots.
For getting perfect circles, Grid offsets must be equal. This example is at 55% on both rows/columns.

Obviously these would have to masked/and or edited with a graphic editor to get just a single line.
