Please help !
Ok, well I am using Adobe After Effects 7. I created text using Adobe Illustrator CS2 and I right clicked on the text in Illustrator and hit “create outlines” and I want to import the text with the outlines into AAE and use the outline of the text to add a Trapcode 3D stroke to follow the outline. I try to copy and paste it from Illustrator to AAE but doesn’t seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is there just a way to outline the text in AAE and just use it as a motion path for “3D Stroke?” If so, please respond to this thread. Thanks!
**I’m trying to create something like this:

I don’t have Illustrator yet but you can create outlines for 3D stroke in AE. Simply create your text and right click on it, in the menu that pops up select “Create Outlines”. This creates a new layer with the name “
Outlines”, turn off the eyeball in your original text layer and apply 3D stroke to the “outlines” layer. The outlines layer contains masks for each individual letter of the word. A tip is if you want to stroke the text in order (start from the first letter to the last) then make sure “Stroke Sequentially” is ticked. -Regards
