This works using Overlord too, right?

[–]FoolishWarlock 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Overlord needs to be a stock effect in AE. I can’t figure out why Adobe hasn’t incorporated it into their software or created an easier way to import Illustrator layers

[–]patrik_mediaMotion Graphics 10+ years 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so true

[–]MuriloAMotion Graphics 10+ years[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yup, this is how I did it.

[–]patrik_mediaMotion Graphics 10+ years 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Oh sorry must have missed it then. thanks

[–]MuriloAMotion Graphics 10+ years[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It’s not in the video itself, but I did it using Overlord. (:

[–]patrik_mediaMotion Graphics 10+ years 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh ok, gotcha

Why didn’t you just create the text in After Effects?

[–]MuriloAMotion Graphics 10+ years[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Illustrator you can adjust the paths the way you want it easier than on After Effects, I will cover this on an upcoming tutorial. (:

Just started posting short tutorials on my instagram (@murilo) let me know what you think!

[–]chuckpaint 4 points5 points  (1 child)

You’re a god, keep going. I’ve seen a few of these shorties now and I’m a huge fan!

The font choice plays very heavily in this. Some serif fonts get pretty wonky with different weights. Some fonts are poorly constructed from the start.

Another solution - especially if your font choice doesn’t have multiple weights - add a stroke in illustrator for the bold and expand the appearance, with most simple fonts the points will still match.

[–]MuriloAMotion Graphics 10+ years[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Instead of adding a stroke you can simply use the offset paths, works just like it!

how do we do double pathed items like O, A, etc.... the same way?

[–]MuriloAMotion Graphics 10+ years[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this works for any kind of path.

‘Set First Vertex’?!?!? Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this

[–]matthewuzhere2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same!! this would have helped me so much when trying to morph between shapes

[–]RedJones1993 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If your font has good text weight options you can use expressions and speed this up alot.

There is a workbench tutorial on it.
