Also, Windows has a handy tool located in accessories\system tools called “Character Map” just bring up the font you are using, it then displays all the characters in it. From there you can copy any of the characters and paste them into AE. It also displays the alt character code… Very handy for graphic fonts…

Sure, no problem.

1. Add a new solid to your comp, the colour doesn’t matter, it will not show in the end.

2. Use the mask tool to draw new mask in the middle of the comp, press shift to lock it to a perfect square – make it roughly 400×400 pixels.

3. Press ‘m’ on the keyboard to toggle to the mask properties, click on ‘Shape…’ and chose ‘ellipse’.

4. Now from the effect menu chose ‘render’ – ‘stroke’. Set ‘paint style’ to ‘on transparent’ (now you see why the solid colour doesn’t matter), brush size to 10-12 and colour to whatever you want your copyright sign to be. You should now have a nice circle.

5. Duplicate this solid in the timeline. Name the first solid “circle” and the second “C”.

6. Press ‘m’ again to bring up the mask properties, click on ‘mask 1’ to select it, press cmd-T (mac) / ctrl-T (pc) to get the rescale box and reduce the scale to about 80-85% of the first solid. You should now have two nice concentric circles.

7. Click ‘F3’ to open the effects panel for the new solid and set the ‘end’ value on the stroke effect to ‘70%’, the inner circle should now be open like a “C” but leaning backwards.

8. Select the mask again as in step 6. but instead of scaling it, rotate it to 35
