  Logo Animation

  Posted by Poyu Chen on February 9, 2012 at 3:25 pm

  I’ve searched everywhere…But I just can’t get the right answer, hope someone here can help me out!

  So I got a logo in psd file, very simple one, it’s just a few thick brush strokes
  and in AE, I want to animate it drawing out, but not using the method from the “Animating Signature” tutorial, it’s not the effect I want.

  The logo is like half of a ring, and I want it to draw out clockwise from the bottom

  If you can’t understand my question, please ask.
  Any help is appreciated, thanks!

  You will get great answers if you upload a still pic of the logo. Is that possible?

  Thanks,

  Have you tried using an animated Shape Layer as a track matte for the logo? The Stroke or Write-on effect are also common tools used to create such an effect.

  If it’s your first time with AE, you should definitely start here: [link]
  It will help you avoid a lot of frustration.
