  • Simple Text Warp to Circle Shape (2D, not 3D)

    Posted by Naiche Lujan on June 19, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    I can’t figure out how to bend my text into a circular shape(2D). Seems like it should be simple. But the first time is always the hardest.

    I could do it in illustrator, but i’m trying to do everything in Motion if possible.

    In general it would be good to know if you could make text form to any shape or path.

    Thanks

    In your Text>Layout tab there is a Path Options>Path Shape drop-down. Choose circle, adjust your radius.
