Does Corner Pin on a duplicated layer work?

[Mike Clasby]

This isn’t lined to a data base, but this is my favorite script to put text into AE:

https://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/

Scroll down to “crg_Text_from_File.jsx”. It has the option of putting each line of text on it’s own layer, or all text lines on one layer. Very Nice. Oh, yes it needs a text file (.txt) to work.

Actually you need to own a version of AE7…

Anyone below that is to low to merit the tryout.

It does sound like you’re using two different layers, one a text layer and one another layer with write-on applied. Are you trying to reveal the text, like Jayse reveals vines with Write-on in his tut, here?

https://www.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/growing/index.html

Or are you using write on to actually write it on? I think the text layer needs to be the same layer, same size as the layer with the write-on.

[Mike Clasby]

After rereading that you’re revealing a psd with Edwardian script, I think Jayse will help. In the third part, Animation, he uses Write-on to reveal vines, it might help:

Basically you draw a mask over the text, Copy the Mask Shape, then Paste that into the brush position, and change the Paint Style to Reveal Original Image. See the tut for details.

[Mike Clasby]

Dunno. Is the mask on the same layer as the text? Are you copying the Mask Shape and Pasting that into Write-on’s brush position? Same layer?

You could always use Aharon’s tut that uses stroke on masks (paths, since they are open), no copy/pasting at all.
