There is no track matte for the top layer, it only appears in the second layer and if i invert that's when it shows, but the text color goes

Hey manuel, thanks for the tutorial! I have an issue when you link your shape path to mask path, they just dont go to same place and scale. Do you know if iam doing something wrong?

[StevenWilliamsHome]

thats for this! Are you looping the text, or have you generated a load of copies? I;ve love to be able to lane a single line of text repeating/offsetting, like you can with motion tile. Thanks again.

I got confused i can't see some options and settings on my version 2022. What are you using?

[DarkRiderMotovlogs]

Awesome thank you Manuel! Question: How do I make the text go from right to left instead of left to right with the expression?

[humoto]

why isn't my trackmatte showing? not like the trackmate you have

[blizaardy]

Nice tutorial.
But lets say I wanna make a path like this but instead text, I want to put triangles or stars.. How to do that sir?

I'm not sure anybody else feels this way, and I don't want to be a hater in any way. I love the content, and it really helps a lot to have places to learn such as your channel. But what bugs me in every single video is the way you sort of laugh when saying the most random things, such as "we need to expand this a little bit". I don't know how to describe it, and if it's just me, that's completely fine, but each time my brain just thinks "What the hell is so funny and why is he laughing again?". Again, I'm just saying this as the most honest feedback, I don't want to offend. It's just that maybe this is something that bugs other people too and you might want to take into consideration. Thanks and thanks again for the content.
