  • Write On Effect starts too late

    Hey guys!
    I’m using the write on effect to animate a signature.
    When the animation is very long (about 20 sec) everything is ok. When I shorten it to something like 2sec, for the first 10 keyframes of the mask, nothing is visible, than suddenly the signature until this point appears and the rest of the write on animation goes well again.
    What’s the problem?
    Thanx for your help, Simon

    Not 100 sure exactly what your issue is, not having seen it, but as I unde4rstand it…

    The best solution I can think of is to find the first frame where you can see the stroke starting, add a keyframe, and then move it to the first frame – overwriting your original keyframe. That way, the animation starts immediately.
