    Posted by Mark Pybus on August 9, 2006 at 4:37 pm

    Hi there,

    I’ve created a path within AE and when I try to get my text layer to animate along the path, it works, however the text appears upsidedown.

    Any thoughts on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    You most probably have the ‘auto-orient’ option disabled. Select your text layer >Layer > Transform > Auto Orient > Orient Along Path.

    One more question…

    I can’t seem to change the font when I use the “horizontal type tool” whereas when I use basic text there is a control to “edit text”.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks as always.
