The autotrace function will look for clear Lines and stuff in the channel tatt you choose. In this example he chose the alpha channel which means tatt the travle function will look for distinct lines between places with transparency and places without. When the trace thing is finnished, it will make a new layer and apply a mask to it in the same places as the lines. Hope this helped.

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".

Incredible tutorial using methods I didn't know existed in AE but will definitely use in the future. BTW, I just ordered Action Essentials 2 for some fx shots I'll be creating for my first full-length movie motion-graphics gig. Gotta say I wouldn't have gotten that job without all I've learned on this site. Keep up the great, informative work.

Hi there,

Andrew, i havn't found the white pencil but i found something better (i think) a concrete pencil !!! http://www.objetdujour.com/index.php/2007/07/26/155-crayon-en-beton
Maybe it can be used to write notes or maybe with a "Boring" client that don't understand your creative sense and open him his he.., his mind ?! ^^

Best from france,

Ps: my old computer can't understand all i want to make and suddendly wreck during the tutorial but anyway that's a good one !!

Howdy Andrew:

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.)

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!
