Not yet – I’ll look for tutorials on track mattes and try it (I’m pretty new to AE so I’m not totally sure what a track matte is). If you know any good ones send them my way. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the input. I’ll give those a try.

The one problem is that the letter t I’m animating is a very specific font that I need to duplicate exactly. Using stroke will only give me lines over the type, not actually animate within all of the outlines of the type.

My original idea was to make the letter into a vector (shape) and animate filling it in and with trim path. When I do this the trim path doesn’t fill the shape in uniformly like the new york times logo above. Any ideas?
