April 12, 2005 at 4:32 pmSignatures can be done by using AE’s pen tool to draw open masks that match the signature. Next, you apply the render>stroke effect, set to “all masks” and “stroke sequentially”. To make it write on, you animate the stroke’s end value.
There you go.

April 13, 2005 at 2:11 amThanks alot steve! and one thing i discovered myself if anyone else uses thing effect, in the effects controls for “effects > render > stroke” is that the “paint style” parameter needs to be set to reveal orignial image or else it just paints a colored line over your text. Thanks again steve!
