Mr. Wim— thank you so much, I got depressed about ever finding a solution that didn’t involve an expensive tutor. Finally got into deadline situation and had to give it another go— you nailed it! Thanks!

John, thanks for your consideration, I thought I uploaded the jpg 2 days ago, here we go again… Once again: I have 5 layers, 4 layers text with glows, &c, plus I added the ellipse to try to create a mask or screen to block out the Radio Wave stroke effects on the text layer 4. But it doesn’t work. I can’t constrain the stroke effect at all, it seems.
Thanks—

John, here’s a jpg of the composition. You’ll see the radio wave stroke lines go all the way to the comp edge.
All the layer details are shown in my original post.
The blue ellipsoid is layer 5, set currently to Back position. The stroke effect is on layer 4. It’s a text layer, I used Generate Radio Waves to get the effect. I set Wave Type to Image Contours, but it doesn’t seem to matter what Wave Type I use; the stroke is not scalable nor conformable at all to the lettering, I created a mask, set Wave Type to mask— no good.
That’s when I decided to import the ellipsoid and use it as a screen to constrain the stroke— but that doesn’t work either, any further ideas very much appreciated.

Roland, thank you. Attached is a file that shows what I’m trying to get. It’s a gif logo for a TV shop website, RGB is the theme; using a stroke effect set to Tie Dye Pattern, and scrolling the scale slider, I can get a very nice, variable RGB wave over the logo in Photoshop. But I’m having lots of trouble getting anything like it in AE. One can get primitive color rolls through the text with presets, but they’re not as nice as this. The % figures indicate how much the stroke scale slider was activated; hoping you can help—
