Brilliant tutorial.
Ok I worked out how to make the 'mask lines' show in Adobe After Effects CS5.
1. click the layer
2. click masks
3. click 'shape...' (it should be right of 'Mask Path'
4. MAKE SURE THAT THE 'RESET TO' TICKBOX IS CHECKED

I didn't really like the effect of those 'lines' that go across the text, but I really like the drawing effect, so I stopped following the tutorial right there.

The Auto Tracing makes the masks usually select the O's 1st for some reason, but if you open up the layer properties in the timeline you can make your Title actually reveal itself when you animate the stroke in any way you want just by reordering them in the timeline.

Hey! I just wanted to fire off a "Thanks" specific to this tutorial. By pure chance I had a job come up that required a similar technique to what is described in this tutorial.
The artwork took me 2 hours to complete (excluding the usual back and forth with my client on minor alterations) as opposed to what might have been a day or two.
Thanks man! Here's a new tag line for you "Andrew Kramer here with a new and exciting tutorial to save you time so you have more time to play Call of Duty .... and to hang out with the wife too of course ..... well, and the kids too".

Gotta say I wouldn't have gotten that job without all I've learned on this site. Keep up the great, informative work.

Thank you Andrew! Great tutorial as always
. But there`s one little thing you use in every tutorial, but never say about it. I meaning that useful hotkey for toggling your "video" window to fullscreen and back. Please say, what this magical key. I searched it by myself but without success.

Mate thank-you so much for all the time and thoroughness you have incorporated into your tutorials. I am an acting student in Australia and these tutorials are great for taking the presentational quality of my work to that next level of awesome. I appreciate everything you have done so far and look forward to the next projects you come up with.
Again, thank-you so much for all our effort, time, and energy

Thanks a lot Andrew.
Yu already have lots of fans here in Brazil.
Thanks again
By the way Aharon Rabinowitz is a litle bit angry because many people think he is you and they're leaving comments at Aharon's site saying "Thanks Andrew!".
Of course it's funny. If able to, watch this

Ever thought of blowing up a refinery? I have hundreds of great pictures (close-ups and distance - no video). I won't disclose the locations but I'll zip up a bunch (same unit same equipment) if you want to try it (I'd even allow distribution in project files). Just think of the possibilities. Big explosions - big fire - big show. Let me know.

It seems you're the only one without a white pen. We all have one (as in: we the rest of the world). The next thing for you to discover is that in fact there is no internet.
Now that makes you wonder ...
Does this world really exist?
Do you?
Because you're special here's the answer to these questions:
(And to prove my point, it's written with my white pen.)
Believe me now?

what is your thought process to come up with these ideas for projects? do you sit around the campfire and dream up this stuff or what? who comes up with the initial idea for a project most of the time?

Hey,
Quite a long tutorial for that little effect. Andrew is making a fast run to no100. I think anyone could have done this, without the tutorial.
But still learned some things. I didn't know it was possible to mask a line, and the randomized order of the masks. Its a quite easy trick, why couldn't I have thought about that!

Adding some measurements or animating a hand and pen would be so awesome on this one!
Since it's vacayion, I'll give it a try :-p
Only problem is thatI don't quite know how to perfectly key and matte elements out ...
I'd like to know this, so I can let my creative juices flowing ^^
There you go, the blueprint for a great tutorial:
explain the key- and matte principals

Blue Print title tutorial is well explained with plenty of detail. OK no explosions, which is suprising considering the fresh stock footage release, but still engaging.
Could you please provide a tutorial with advanced techniques to take full advantage of the 2K footage. Ta
