can anyone explain how to do it in AE 6.5? it's a little different than the version he used.
by Galenkatt 01/04/2008
Hey. As everyone else, I also love your tutorials.
I have a prob with this one. When you like.. mark the text with the pentool.. erm.. well that doesnt work when i do it. If i have red text, then uses the pentool - the pentool makes big red marks after it.

Hope you understand.

how am i supose to get the effects you use i cant find them on ur site ugh!! help! plzzz
by Michael Ypes 05/10/2008
Great tute, I'm really a flash developer but want to go down the after effects route as it so much more powerful and would love to integrate the two. Got the mask working and tried to export to flash thinking that it would be vectorised as the text is vector and the stroke is vector. No wall included :) However the mask did not output. the only way I could create it is as bitmaps which I don't want to do. I have seen other people do this such as "fake pilot" - love his work too. Any ideas how I can do this as I have searched fruitlessly on this topic but believe that it must be able to be done some way. By the way, love your work and think you are doing a great job for the after effects community :)

by Orwell84 11/25/2008
For everyone who wants to know where to put the font...
If it's a TrueType font file, you put it in C:\windows\fonts, and then it will be in your Adobe applications (assuming, of course that your OS is a windows one). If it's not, try to find it on www.dafont.com, and it will most likely be there. If it's not a TrueType font file and you can't find it on dafont.com, try to put it in the "fonts" folder anyway and see if it works.
