I want to animate a line of text that will morph from a straight line to curved upward like a smile. How do I go about this?

 

Thanks!

    You can create the text. Change the text path to mask. Make a mask on the text layer and animate the mask path.
    Made a simple workflow tutorial here. Hope this helps...

    Hi. Using the pen tool create a path on the text layer. Keyframe the path shape from straight to curved. Set the Text's Path Options' Path to Mask 1.
