  Text like Sun Rays

  Posted by Vik Narayan on March 5, 2014 at 7:36 pm

  Hi All

  I am trying to arrange a text list of 52 lines (each line has a couple of words) around a circular path so that each line is perpendicular to and starting at the circle. Think each line as a ray emanating from an imaginary sun.

  I started by bringing in the list as a text layer, created the circle as a mask, and used Text Animate operators to achieve this effect. I am unable to get the anchor points to align with the path cleanly so I end up with more of a swirl moving away from the circle. Is this done easier with expressions?

  I am running AE CC on a mac.
