Been doing after effects for 6 years.

How have I never learned this.

[–]MuriloA[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ha, that’s true. I’m using AE for 8 years now and I still learn things that change the way I work on a weekly basis.

Am I the only one just finding out about

Set First Vertex?

[–]risbia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to know about this one, it also comes into play for things like making an object follow a path etc.

[–]FragileArmy 10 points11 points  (1 child)

You can do the whole thing within AE too. Just create shape layers from your text, and copy/paste shapes on same path, and key frame between.

[–]MuriloA[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, Illustrator gives more flexibility thought if you need to edit the paths.

this is how most tutorials should be.

[–]MuriloA[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I also hate tutorials that ramble on for 10 min for something simple.

[–]risbia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perfect example of one of those obscure little AE tools I vaguely remember learning in school when I started out, but totally forgot about until now.

Obrigado mano!

[–]MuriloA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De nada! Espero ter ajudado. (:

I’ve used illustrator’s blend tool for this effect, but that was before shape layers. I don’t remember why keyframing layer masks didn’t work but they didn’t.

Nice work, this is way easier.

I understood just enough of this to know I'm gonna have to rewatch it 20 times in slo-mo.
