Animated text on path, where font size increases as it moves

[Ian Ellerby]

Hi Dave
Thanks for your reply.
Not sure how this works, as the scale property increases the whole line of text, not just the part which is running along the path. I still need the starting text to be the original size, and always so, and as it runs along the path each character increases size to pre determined size at the end of path. If that makes sense.

Thanks
Ian

Dave means you need to use a text animator and under the advanced animator properties change the grouping from Line to Character.

Sorry Johnny, not having a great deal of success, I’ve been able to increase the size of the font from one end of the path to the other as you suggested and I’m using Ramp Up in shape properties to do this, but I’m unable to have this animated so whenever the text starts at one end of the path it is one size, as it moves along the path it increases in size, so one end of the path is always one height and other end a larger size, the characters are growing as it moves along the path.
Thanks Ian

Got it, to some degree! I animated the End Range Selector, animated the Amount, and used Ramp Down in Shape.
Trouble with Kerning now, but at least I’m heading in right direction.
Thanks
