writing in cursive text
Posted by Joan Banks-smith on May 21, 2007 at 5:40 pmMaybe some could point me to a tutorial or explain how I can achieve the effect of hand writing text on the screen. I’d like the text to reveal as it’s being “written” in a script-type font to mimmic some writing in cursive.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

May 21, 2007 at 6:34 pmI went through that tutorial already buts its not quite what I’m looking for.
I would like to use text that looks like cursive writing. Something similar to this video clip on digitaljuice.com (https://www.digitaljuice.com/dj_showcase/detail.asp?page=1&portfolioid={D210AFEF-52F7-4AFC-8150-294B74114315}&sortby=&display=all&workid=2473) a few seconds in.

What that appears to me is an effect created by simply applying a mask that progressively reveals portion of each letter’s (script font).

Mask revealing a font on a progressive basis is MUCH easier.
