    Posted by Christopher Carlsson on April 20, 2008 at 10:11 am

    Hello 🙂 Im making an intro for a movie, and i was wondering if this was possible. My text looks like this:

    Starring
    Name here

    And i was wondering if you could make the “Starring” transform into “In” in any way? What i was planing to do was to move the “Starring” bellow the “Name here”, meantime it changes to “In”, so it says:

    Name here
    In

    Hope you understand what i mean 🙂 Thanks in advance!

    just a thought, but the word in appears in starring. Maybe you dissolve or blow away the letters except ‘in’ and simultaneously move the in below.

    I like Bret’s idea, which you could animate by using a text preset and changing start/end animation settings, or convert the text to outlines and animate the characters. If you’re really wanting the text to “morph”, you can easily make a tween in Flash, or make a blend in Illustrator and break that into layers.

    Sometimes the block dissolve transition can be useful here.

    Thank you! I didn’t think of that even though it was a preety simple sullotion 🙂 What I did was that i made on text with “Star g” and another with ” in ” and evaporated the star… part when it crossed the name, and moved it slightly to the left. Thanks again guys 🙂
