I also just discovered the Compound Blur (that I applied to the text), which is perfect for this exact situation. Thanks to everyone who chipped in!

I think I've achieved something acceptable by using the footage as a Luma Matte for the text.

Hi! I'm using the 3D Camera Tracker to integrate text in a scene, but the text looks very fake. What could I do to blend it better? Adding grain, noise, blur, and matching the depth of field are great initial steps, but they often aren’t enough to fully integrate the text into the scene. I was hoping for something like Photoshop’s 'Blend If' to better match lighting and textures. Thank you! Christian.

Hi! Premier Pro now has a Remix tool powered by Adobe Sensei to help shorten songs. Is this feature coming to After Effects? Thank you! Chris.

Hi! Thanks again for your answer. Here is a test with zeros everywhere: Here is a test with zeros only in the shape properties: Since none of my tests work, I'm clearly missing something 🤔 Thanks again!

Hi! I'm using Bend It on a text layer, and Grow Bounds isn't working: What would be the solution? Thank you! Chris.

Thank you so much! Everything works exactly as planned according to your instructions. However, when I test with a triangle, the shape moves out of place when I use the pickwhip expression to link it to the Null's rotation property.

I found a solution: Activate the Position property of the shape. Create an animation using at least 3 keyframes. Select the keyframes. Right-click > Keyframe Interpolation > Auto Bezier for Temporal Interpolation and Spatial Interpolation. Right-click > Rove Accross Time. Easy Ease the keyframes. Use the Graph Editor to control the velocity. Now if only I could find a solution for Path animations... (Found it: lots of tweeking with the Graph Editor seems to work.)

Hi! Curving the Position property of a layer is easy: But I can't seem to be able to do the same with the Position property of the the shape: Other than pasting a path in the Position property, is there a solution? Thank you! Chris.

Hi! Can someone please tell me why After Effects tutorials are no longer in order? I completed them a long time ago and now want to refer them to someone, but to my surprise, the tutorials are all over the place. Even when I select "Beginner," they don't start with the basics (like an introduction to the interface, creating compositions, etc.). https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/learn/app/after-effects?skillLevel=beginner Is there a way to fix this? Thank you! Chris.

Hi! The cmd+Spacebar shortcut for zooming suddenly stopped working. What could be the issue? As you can see, my Spotlight shortcut is deactivated: I am using macOS Sonoma 14.0. Thank you! Chris.

Hi! I was wondering why the time indicator/playhead won't go to the last frame of the timeline: It always blocks one frame before the end... Thanks!

Working on the main timeline is generally considered to be bad practice. Understood! On the topic of the masks, I assumed you wanted the text to appear as if it is being written in a logical, natural manner; the way one would do it if writing with a pen. Exactly! I also think the frame by frame method seems like the less complicated way...

Thanks guys! I appreciate it a lot. ps. Do not work on the main timeline. First nest your stuff inside a Graphic Symbol container. Why is that?

Thanks! Works great for something simple. But how about something like that? My goal is to do a logo reveal one line at a time... Thanks again and again!

Thanks for your answer! "Clip": I use the French version of Animate So my attempts with angles have been successful: Not with curves, however: Is the frame by frame approach the only way to achieve what I'm looking for? Thanks!

Thank you! In that case, I'd like to create a Clip containing all my shadow elements, and making that Clip the mask for the layer underneath, just like in this video: Animate Drawing a Line - YouTube But it doesn't work! Thanks again.

Hi, I created a rectangle, converted it to a Clip symbol, added the Drop shadow filter, but the Inner shadow and Mask object options aren't clickable. What's going on? Thanks!

Hi! I used Flash a long time ago, and some things don't seem to work anymore with Animate. One of those things is being able to use multiple mask layers to reveal another layer. For example, if my memory serves me right, I used 5 different mask layers to reveal this shape: Basically, my question is: how can I reveal a complex shape, like a logo, with Animate? I can't find anything about the subject. Thanks!

>> UPDATE << A month ago, AE CC 2019 started to work again out of thin air. Yay. But today, it started freezing every time a composition uses some effects like Fast Box Blur, Noise, Displacement Map, etc. However, some effects don't freeze 2019, like Tint, Bend it, etc. No problem in 2018. Please help!
