Joe-

I added a line of text to the test file and set up the keyframes similar to the example you provided.

Two things:

1) I can’t achieve a similar fade, the text just pops on in this setup. This is kinda cool, but how I do preserve it if desired?

2) The text fade appears on screen from left to right, how I get it to fade out from left to right also?

I re-attached the test file with my added line of text.

Thanks again in advance!

WOW! Thanks for the fast replies, and test file you provided Joe!

It’s very close.

The start / end values makes more sense. I will adjust that.

Thank you both. ?

Chris-

Thanks so much for your reply! This is a good start for me to to explore. I think you’re right this project is going to require that combo of expressions and hand animating.

Stay 100

Thanks for your reply, Tatiana.

I discovered that the path data was relative and not absolute and hence what was causing the issue.

Something so basic in the procedure that I overlooked.

Bless up.

Ha, yes -due to my mind not switching back into the second dimension as I wrote that.

Circles all day.
