Morphing letters

	Re: Morphing letters by Michael Szalapski on Jun 18, 2009 at 8:06:51 am Create the T in Illustrator, make outlines if you need to, copy and paste the path onto a solid as a mask in AE. Animate mask. Or use the reshape tool or any of several of the distort tools (bezier warp seems like a good choice) on the T layer. - The Great Szalam (The 'Great' stands for 'Not So Great, in fact, Extremely Humble') No trees were harmed in the creation of this message, but several thousand electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

	Re: Morphing letters by Michael Szalapski on Jun 18, 2009 at 8:01:03 pm Like I did mention in my post, there is the Bezier Warp. There is also Reshape. Or you could just trace the T on a solid with a mask and then animate the mask. - The Great Szalam (The 'Great' stands for 'Not So Great, in fact, Extremely Humble') No trees were harmed in the creation of this message, but several thousand electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

	Re: Morphing letters by Michael Szalapski on Jun 19, 2009 at 3:05:50 am I was thinking that the T was just one color and you could just recreate it in After Effects by a mask and then just animate that mask. But if it's a logo and not just a shape, this may help you. http://library.creativecow.net/articles/zwar_chris/morph.php - The Great Szalam (The 'Great' stands for 'Not So Great, in fact, Extremely Humble') No trees were harmed in the creation of this message, but several thousand electrons were mildly inconvenienced.
