  combine multiple text masks

  Posted by Maurice Mahady on April 9, 2006 at 3:57 am

  Probably a stupid question but…
  I want to apply an effect such as audio waveform to a complete word or phrase but can’t work out how to either join the masks or apply it to all masks.

  What currently happens is I create outlines from the word and am left with each letter having a unique mask, I’ve gone through help and the meyers book but cant find the solution yet, Im sure it something obvious but help would be appreciated!

  How about copying the masks into Illustrator as paths and using the Unite pathfinder function, then copying the path back into AE as a mask.
