Morphing Text
Hello everyone, this is my first post, kind of exciting for me. So I’ll get right to the problem. As the topic suggests I am trying to morph a Picture of Heiroglyphs (PSD) into a text that I have also changed to a psd file. Unfortunately it keeps skewing my image and not morphing it at all. I am using the Reshape effect under Distort. I have done other tutorials involving this effect, but it doesn’t seem to work the same for text. My question is pretty basic. Should I be using another effect or I am going about this the wrong way. Does anyone out there know of a tutorial that covers this? I am not a total newby, but I am still learning the program and there are some things I just don’t understand about the effects. I would be grateful for any help or information.
Thanks,
Brad -

Text in AE uses vector font shapes. Did you create the text in AE using the text tool or create it as rasterized pixels in Photoshop?

I created the text in AE, but what I am trying to morph the text from is a heiroglyph that I got from the internet which is a picture that I photoshoped. Should I have created the text in photoshop?
