In the example file that comes with videoscribe, when I export elements to an SVG and examine how the elements are drawn in, I notice that the opacity is set to 100%, but i can't see the stroke at all. I always have to reduce it to 0% for this effect to work.
How are you achieving this with opacity on? And why can't I see the stroked line at all?
Hi, 1) in illustrator, select just one of those transparent paths 2) in illustrator click window>appearance and view the properties of that path 3) expand the Stroke properties 4) it should say "opacity: 0%"
I don't know why the Transparency window shows 100% instead of 0% but there is probably some logical illustrator explanation. For example, maybe its because the path fill is set to null with default opacity instead of 0% opacity.
Hope that helps, -Mike (videoscribe user)

or it might be clearer to say layer opacity=100% stroke opacity= 0% fill opacity=100% (null color)

Interesting, thanks, Mike. I'm sure there's an explanation, but this is good enough for me. Thanks!

I've attached the svg I'm referring to.
1) in illustrator, select just one of those transparent paths
2) in illustrator click window>appearance and view the properties of that path
3) expand the Stroke properties
4) it should say "opacity: 0%"
