Try Text > Path Text

Very changable.

Hi Dave,

[Dave LaRonde] “Getting the path circular will be tricky”

You could easily do it if you draw a circle using the elliptical mask tool, add a vertex using the Add Vertex tool as near as possible to another existing vertex then select both vertex, right click and uncheck “Closed”.

Salut.

[serge] “right click and uncheck “Closed”.”

Huh? AE 7.0 does not give me that check box after a right click.

Did you try selecting the segment of the path between two vertices? If right-clicking won’t do it, go to the layer>mask menu after selecting.

might take a little while because you have to do it PER LETTER but if you lay the text out using 3d assistants lite….with the cylinder….and spin it with a null… it’ll be closer than setting the text to a path.

Hey, that worked – thank you!
Meanwhile I played with path text. This works as well – I didn

Thanks, Nicholas!
