Can You do it bit slow. I know you will get 100k subs nearly. I have never seen a this much creative tutorial on youtube !!! CONGRADULATIONS !!!

[allexrain]

I just love your tutoriarls, if you can do more tutorials about text animation, thanks a lot.

[小笼包-mo]

That was pretty cool,
I guess the only reason why you don't have much more subs yet, is cuz your tuts are more challenging that other ppl make on youtube.
But pretty awesome.

[richochet]

I've really wanted to know how to do this! Thanks, I realize it's a year ago but any chance of more please?

Hi Manuel. Thanks for this tutorial. Few minutes into the tutorial, after you converted to bezier path. I added KF to the path and morphed the shape into a straight line but when I play back, the animation doesn’t seem to have happened. Any guides on how to fix this?
