Hey guys,

I'm very new to AE and am struggling to work out how to flip a letter vertically in place, over time. As an example, the word PeeP (I know there's a capital P at the end, that's how it's supposed to be). I want to rotate the eP at the end, in place.

Sorry for my description being so vague, I appreciate any advice you can give me.

Cheers,

Ryan

Type your text : Peep

Twirl down text layer >

Animate (button menu) > Enable Per-character 3D

Animate (button menu) > Rotation

Twirl down > Animator 1 > Range Selector 1 > Advanced. Set units to index.Twirl Advanced section closed.

Set the start property to 2

Set the end property to 4

You can then animate (keyframe) the Range Selector 1 > X Rotation property over time.

Hey Mike,

I used your method to lead me and I'm very happy to say that it worked.

Thank you and the others for the support you provided.

Cheers

I agree with Rob. A text animator limited to the two letters would do the trick. Otherwise create the two parts as separate layers and set one to be 3D, adjusting its anchor point and rotating it.
