    Cinema 4D is the “normal” application to do that, using mograph > mo text, which is not part of Cinema 4D Lite.

    Hi Hanna, you might try pre-composing your text then using CC Cylinder on it in your main comp (resize in your precomp if neccessary)?

    No mention if the film plate is static or if camera moves?

    is it possible you can just save the post one image and try edit that and se if u can get it to do what i wnt.

    just like how you se real airplanes everyday the text on it i want that affect rather then a strait floating text on top

    Free Form V2 or FreeForm Pro from Mettle allow for 3d distortion and displacement. I would use one of these plugins to distort the text/logo layer in 3d and match the perspective of the plane. You can also track the camera move in the shot (if it’s a moving shot) and match the move.

    If the camera doesn’t move, Bezier Warp will be perfect.
