Here’s one way, letter by letter:

Couldn’t you do something like copy the mask shape out of illustrator, and then just paste that onto a solid in AE as a mask, and keyframe the mask shape with different letter masks out of illustrator? I haven’t tested it, but it seems like it could work?

Thanks,

The only trouble with doing mask shapes is many leters have more than one mask for the letter shape. Create Outlines (masks)gives 2 masks for A, 3 masks for B… I dunno how to keyframe multiple mask shapes to morph from A to B, maybe someone else has a trick.

I tried this and every time it morphed by zooming from one letter to the next with a very vague morph in there somewhere. I did it exactly as per the tutorial, only with Illustrator CS2. What am I doing wrong?
