  • Specific kerning animation question

    Posted by David Fleury on December 1, 2017 at 1:54 pm

    I am animating a word using the tracking animator. I also need to animate two letters is that word so that they touch and do not separate. Does anyone know of a way to individually control the kerning of two letters on top of the tracking animator?

    If this doesn’t make sense I will post a couple of screenshots.

    Thanks
    Dave

    You can use multiple range selectors on the same tracking animator to exclude the touching letters, which you could manually kern the type tool.
