  • How to animate text rolling under a cylinder

    Hi,

    Im relatively new to AE and I need to make some text move under a rolling object (like a can). The ‘can’ is on a slight angle.

    I want it to roll under the can which means the text would have to curve from the centre, then disappear as the can rolls over it. I’ve been moving the position and axis but it doesn’t look quite right.

    I feel like there must be a semi-simple way to do this well – or is it harder than i’m giving it credit for?

    Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Hi Bianca, I’m having trouble visualising what you are doing/wanting. Can you post a screen grab of what you have?

    I’m not exactly sure what you are going for, but with some masking and use of a warp effect, you may be able to bend the text and have it disappear under the can.
