  Masking / Reveal

  Posted by Emanuel Cohen on September 18, 2009 at 5:01 pm

  Hey,

  I’m trying to do a little animation with the logo that is displayed on this page : https://www.26lettres.com

  What I want to do is to mask the whole thing, and make both parts “reveal” following the curve… sort of like a “fill up” effect…

  Is there a way to get a nice and flowing result, without having to keyframe the whole thing, it’s a vector shape, is there a way to make aftereffects follow the shape ?? to reveal it

  Thanks!!

  the stroke effect gives me a nice result but the brush is round wich reveals the shape with a curvy line segment, is there a way to manage and choose brush types for this effect?

  thanks

  ahhhhh not bad! i totally understand what you mean, however I’m a beginner and I don’t know where to apply, or which layers to select etc etc to make your suggestion work…

  maybe you could explain it to me in details (please :))

  I currently have a layer for each side, both have the Stroke effect properly working, excpet with that curvy edge… how do I start what you just explained above?
