You could as well type up the two words, mask each letter out through a shape layer, delete the original text (or unhide it) and keyframe the mask path on each letter so that it changes into the word.

To get an awesome change effect, you could try https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/shatterize/ and just add the other text layer on reverse so the first words shatter into the second word as it appears.

Another thing you should try, with a 3d text layer, you make it rotate sideways forming the other word. It really depends on what it is for.

Check the text layer to see if there are any keyframes.

Make a material without anything except transparency set to 100
Go to Polygon mode and click with Live Select the faces you want to disappear. Drag the Transparent material onto the orange selected faces.

I’m assuming you are talking about if you want to hide a part of a whole shape.

Click on that object, go into the basic tab. Go to Frame 100 and Ctrl+Click on Visibility in Render+Editor. Go to frame 101 and Change the Visibility to none and Ctrl+Click.

Hello Scott, an easy way to help you is by going into the texture tag on the object and messing around with the Projection.
