  • Graffitti text spinning letter by letter

    Posted by Theo Van laar on December 27, 2008 at 5:35 pm

    I want to have my title to follow a group of children who perform gymnastics.
    In graffitti I can add text to a path and move the text along the path. But at a certain point, I would like to have the letters to spin around. Not all letters at the same time, but each letter one by one when they have reached a certain point on the path. Is that possible in Graffitti 5.3?

    Thanks for your advice

    Theo

    HI,

    Here’s how to make the letters spin on or off with Graffiti:

    • create a text element
    • click on the triangle at the left of the text track in the timeline window to reveal the sub-tracks
    • click on the face sub-track
    • in the controls window, go to the type-on tab
    • set the spin parameter value to 90 degrees
    • keyframe the text type-on parameter value to make the letters spin on their own axis and disappear over time, one by one

    Cheers,

    Peter.
