    I need to create a “handwriting” effect, and I’ve done it before with vector paint – but I can’t seem to do what I want to do. All the the letters are starting at once, rather than one after the other. I have messed with the playback speed, but it doesn’t seem to help. Thanks for any advice!

    You need to write on the first letter, then scroll down on the timeline until you see the letter complete. Then start your second letter and so on. Each letter has its own start point on the timeline. Adjust the playback speed accordingly.

    I have to tell you, Bill, that your Smithe Furniture ads are hilarious. Great work. For local commercials, these are some of the very finest I have ever seen. Right up there at the top. The people in your market area have to love them as they are a far cry from the typical crap seen in local commercials.

    Best regards,

    Thanks for the kind words, Ron. Those spots get a lot of play here in Chicago. It’s nice to have a client that has a sense of humor about themselves. I still owe you guys a new tutorial. Stay tuned…
