EPS logo act as text?
Im making a commercial which needs an animated logo at the end, unfortunately I only have the logo as a EPS vector, and dont have the fonts used. My question is; Is there any way that I can tell after effects to see the vector as a font? ( I want to build off some text animation presets) or will i have to manually have to make a new font with the vector characters?

Even with an ai or psd file text is just pixel information and cannot be interpreted as text as far as i know. A workaround would be seperate layers with masks. If you would have the phrase ABC as eps you could duplicate it two times mask out the A and C for the B layer, mask out A and B for the C layer and parent B and C with A layer. This way you can move ABC with the property of the A layer and animate the B and C layer seperated.

eps files can be vectors
take it into illustrator and break its elements into layers and re import as seperate layers -
No, you cannot convert the vector file (assuming text has been converted to outlines) into a font. No way. The font version of the logo would have to have been saved as a separate Illustrator file, before the conversion to outlines occurred.
You’ll have to manually animate the logo elements either by masking letters on copies of the EPS file in AE, or by separating the EPS into layers in Illustrator as the others have suggested.

yeah thats what I thought, I think I will just go and buy the fonts, animating text is much quicker than having to animate each character(vector) as an idividual object. Thanks guys.
