Hello,

I need to animate text coming in from the side and then follow a path.

I've tried converting the text to a symbol but wasn't the effect I wanted.

Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.Screen Shot 2022-09-21 at 09.14.04.png

Hi.

 

Animate doesn't have the ability to create text fields on paths. You can suggest this feature here.

 

For the animation, you'll need to:

- Break the text field apart (Ctrl/Cmd + B);

- Turn each character into a symbol;

- Create a guide layer;

- And animate the newly created instances using the guide.

 

Please let us know if you need more details on how to achieve this kind of animation.

 

Regards,

JC

I would suggest After Effects for this particular effect.

Thank you for the tutorial. This is what I tried, but doesn't work with a line of copy.
