stock ticker

[Aharon Rabinowitz]

what I’ve done in the past is create my ticker text using a blocky text, and then created a layer above that with the grid effect. Set up the grid right, and it makes the text moving behind it look like a bunch of LED letters.

Make sense?

You can use the grid layer as an alpha matte, so that the areas not shown in the text are fully transparent.
