  Morphing Text

  Posted by Brad Geiszler on October 9, 2006 at 12:17 am

  Hello everyone, this is my first post, kind of exciting for me. So I’ll get right to the problem. As the topic suggests I am trying to morph a Picture of Heiroglyphs (PSD) into a text that I have also changed to a psd file. Unfortunately it keeps skewing my image and not morphing it at all. I am using the Reshape effect under Distort. I have done other tutorials involving this effect, but it doesn’t seem to work the same for text. My question is pretty basic. Should I be using another effect or I am going about this the wrong way. Does anyone out there know of a tutorial that covers this? I am not a total newby, but I am still learning the program and there are some things I just don’t understand about the effects. I would be grateful for any help or information.

  Thanks,
  Brad

  Text in AE uses vector font shapes. Did you create the text in AE using the text tool or create it as rasterized pixels in Photoshop?

  I created the text in AE, but what I am trying to morph the text from is a heiroglyph that I got from the internet which is a picture that I photoshoped. Should I have created the text in photoshop?
