Hi Filip,

So I’ve separated each character onto their own layer and aligned all characters on the same line.

In Ae I’ve run Trace Path on a square path – what do you recommend I do from here?

Thanks

Thank you both for your replies.

Unfortunately I don’t have access to the font file and it’s a bespoke typeface with a lot of the characters intersecting.

I did think Trace Path was the most viable option but I’m struggling to figure out how each character (which amounts to over 130) can remain in their formation when assigned to a null…

I’m looking to replicate a text on path scrolling effect around a square path just like in this tutorial:

However, I do not have the the original text file so I’m using paths imported from Ai.

Please help!

Thanks

Hello,

I’m trying to animate text along a path like in the attached photo.

I don’t have access to the font so I’m using paths from an Ai file, which amount to 190 paths once converted and extracted within Ae. I’ve tried using Trace Path and connecting each group to the null but this goes wildly off course.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks.

That worked a treat, thanks very much Dan!

Hi Dan,

 

I have a similar issue. I’m trying to create a delay of movement in z space with the following expression:

 

z = thisComp.layer(“cntrl”).effect(“start layer”)(1);

myOffset = effect(“myOffset”)(1).value * thisComp.frameDuration;

masterDelay = thisComp.layer(“cntrl”).effect(“Delay”)(1).value *… Read more
