No font tracing! No mask paths! No Plugins!

Once you have set up a Single Line Path you can treat the text like any other shape layer stroke to create unique lettering animations or text stroke reveals.

Also very useful for Kinetic Typography to animate the letters like the Animography Typefaces.

05:35 Write-On Text Animation with Stencil Fonts
06:11 Lettering Text Animation with Rounded Fonts

Enjoy watching!
