  • Improved Text Write-On Effects?

    Posted by Raymond Miller on April 14, 2015 at 7:33 pm

    Hello everyone,

    I have a question about Text write on effect in Ae. Typically I’ve seen the use of “Stroke” or the “Write-On” effect to reveal text like this but I’ve had some issues. Some of the fonts/typefaces do not work well with those effects and the write-on reveal comes out sloppy. Is there a cleaner, sleek way to reveal text in the script, calligraphy font styles? I was contemplating something with masks.
    any help or suggestions, or even tutorials, would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank You in advance.

    Do you have any suggestions for how to approach, creating the masks? Is doing it by hand with the Pen-tool best or is creating the masks from text option better. Also what about using a shape layer to fill the mask? Or am I over complicating things?

    Well not the best news I’ve heard, LOL. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll show you the project I’m working on when it’s done.

    Thank you again for the advice.
