Track matte doesn´t seem to work

Question

I have problems with alpha matte. I want a text move from left to right.With the pencil i made a line that i want the text to come out from. Shape 1 is the line. Shape two is the box where i want med text to reveal. Between the two shapes i have a text. With the text layer i choose track matte alpa. But it´s not working. It looks like the line is stopping the animation and no text is reveled in the shape 2. I have black background with white text. What am i doing wrong? I have tried it also with video at the background with the same result.

Kindly Regards Jensine

The text is invisible to the left as it should be. The text has an animation from left to right. The text is meaning to look like it comes out from the line but it´s invisible. What is wrong?

From this picture, everything look right, just try to check the opacity of the "squere"layer must be 100% also same for text layer

one more question, if you remove the track matte, than turn on the "squere"layer are you able to see everything in the right place?

anyway here's a file include what you'r doing, you can check it,

I know this is an old thread but I had the same problem and was getting frustrated to the point of getting a headache. Turns out I had "Draft 3D" active (bottom right corner of the Viewer window. The project is very big with a lot of layers and effects so Draft 3D helps things playback faster. But it also makes it so that the track matte simply doesn't show on the screen. TOTALLY FRUSTRATING! You can do everything right and a simple efficiency option destroys your workflow for an hour. So check that if nothing else is working
