When I use kerning to close the gaps it brings the letters so close to each other that they overlap. I’m looking to leave everything where it is and just close the gaps in the white background. Maybe I’m missing something in your reply?

Hi everyone!

I duplicated the text layer and added a stoke via layer styles to the bottom layer to get this effect. I like the way the outside of the stroke looks, but I have stroke gaps between the letters that I’d like to fill in. The goal is to get the top layer to look like text sitting on a solid plaque.

I tried that but it just doesn’t look good. Right now I’m using the Extract effect to remove all black and just leave white and bright colorsand then track matte the audience to that.

I’m using Wave Warp on a straight path to create a sine wave. I will change the sine wave height, length, etc over time and I would like a circle shape to follow the sine wave path as the height and length of the sine wave changes. Is it even possible using this method? Is there a better way?

Thanks!

John Cuevas Yep. Filip got it right on the spot.

Filip Vandueren, you nailed it on the head! The comp was 15 min long. LOL. I shortened it to 40 sec and it’s rendering ahead of real time in full res. Oh, man. So simple. THANK YOU!

I had no idea. The comp is 15 minutes long by default for whatever reason. I’ll cut that down and let you know. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I can’t find anyone with the same problem anywhere on the web or even in here, so…
