	'writtten' titles by Sam DeCoste on May 5, 2008 at 5:59:35 pm Hello, I'm doing titles for a project, and I want it to animate the letters so it looks as if the words were being written on the screen, with each letter slowly appearing. I thought of using the eraser tool in PS, having the letters slowly appear, and saving each change as it's own file, then importing into AE, and using keyframe assistant > sequence layers. It's a bit onerous though, so I'm wondering if there's a better approach.. Thanks for any advice! Sam Respond to this post Return to posts index


	Re: 'writtten' titles by Thorsten Miess on May 6, 2008 at 3:07:14 pm search for tutorials here on creative cow. there are plenty wich including writing animations. Quick tutorial: 1. Create your text! (In ae or from photoshop or even a picture) 2. draw a mask that is ROUGHLY covering the characters (that is the path on wich the text will be animating) EG: TEXT = Draw a line on the top of the T and then on the I part of the the then go to the next character... 3.Apply the Stroke Effect 4.Change the option on the bottom to Reveal Original Image 5.animate the End position 6.watch and enjoy!
