    Yes I know this question has been asked before but I have a different case.
    I shot a person kicking a soccer ball right at the high speed camera. I want to add text at the ball as it nears towards the camera. I tried CC Sphere but since it wraps the whole text into a sphere it’s no use (I want all the letters ‘BKZ’ to be shown at some point) . So what would be the easiest way for a beginner?

    — if cc sphere works apart from the fact that you dont want the lettering to go all thje way round then suggest you btry eithrt

    1 ) adding spaces either side OR

    2 ) adding dots either side OR

    3 ) adding vtransparent letters either side …….

    …………… good luck —-chris —-

    Or make the sphere from a nested comp. Geometrically a sphere is twice as wide as it is tall so make the nested comp that proportion.

    For example:
