Animated Handwriting in After Effects

[@helenhan4687]

This is the best "handwriting" tutorial. explained every step clearly and give the reason "why we do it". also including the trouble shooting of "the cross part of a letter not showing properly". talk clearly with a nice pace and good manner. thanks a lot for making this tutorial for beginners.

[@OpenWindowMedia]

I just wanted to show love and say thanks for the tutorial. Just finished my project in 2 hours. Thanks for the help!!!

[@mosabahmedl]

I earned like 100$ from this video applying it for my customers, I just want to thank this kind brother for his amazing tutorial. Old days are the best.

[@brianmiller4207]

Thank You!!!!! Every six months I have to come back here ^__^

[@emieldegraaf]

I am a complete beginner and I could follow all of your steps. Great tutorial! Thanks

[@LichKing887]

This is what I call perfectionism. Great Job! This is totally useful, helpful and more or less great!

[@montgal52]

This was absolutely a great tutorial. You were clear, went through each step, and you did not assume anything, which is good because I am new to AE. I have subscribed.

[@AE-ks9ng]

thanks so much! I'm fairly new to after effects so I watch a lot of tutorials, and this is one of the clearest tutorials on typography so far!

[@Marc-Franco]

I used this to animate the lines on graph, and it worked great. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@KrishnaSekharSarma]

hatsoff bro... it is great on ur side to share ur knowledge with everyone ...!!!!!

[@CluelessCommuter]

BETTER THAN THE OTHER TUTORIAL!!!

[@leviasay]

thanks, this was quite helpful. and it's really nice that you didn't say "um" and sound like you actually know what you're talking about!

[@AlegreFranz]

great tutorial, just FYI, if you press "U" on the layer, it will show you every attribute that has been modified with keyframes, so that's way faster than opening the layer and searching for the animation. keep 'em coming! :)

[@stephaniericher2177]

Wow, thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! God bless the generosity of people like you to share your knowledge.

[@Jsanch123]

Great tutorial. Couldn't be more comprehensive. Thank You!

[@LilianSegui]

Thank you so much for this video! It was the only one I could find showing how to do that! It's way simpler than anything I've ever learned before. :D Thanks again.

[@epetefilm]

Amazing. Thanks for the help! Simple. To the point and easy to follow along.

[@ZakEzzati]

You can always take the text layer and "layer > create masks from text" and then use the stroke. There are some anomalies but saves a whole bunch of time. Adjust brush size to fill the text.

[@zoeismay]

Thank you so much, this was so helpful! Short, succinct, to the point and very helpful. :)

[@ryansitouch]

great tutorial, you have a good voice for it, plus you are well detailed about what you're doing

[@Thor_Underdunk_Caballerial]

Fantastic tutorial, I will most certainly make use of this wonderful effect in future projects. Thank you so much.

[@DarrenZwiers]

Thanks for this, I have about 30 animation clips to do for a client with the write on effect and this method (as apposed to 'write-on') gives me a lot more control to animate in batches. Thanks a mil!!

[@neilybhai]

Thank you so much!!! This video was so helpful! I love how concise and to the point you are. Makes my day ten times easier. :)

[@AlecDamiano]

I saw other similar tutorials and I just couldn't get it. But I watched yours and it made perfect sense. Thank you!

[@CanFly2798]

[@emilyclarkson1709]

1. This is absolutely brilliant. 2. Is there a way to rearrange the order of which letters get painted? I had a bit of trouble with an "o" and now it's the only thing messed up and I really don't want to re do the entire sentence...

[@jakejollimore5453]

Great tutorial. Going to use this for a game I'm going to make. Thanks!

[@NekoSamaIru]

Worked awesome!! U r awesome!! Thanks dude!! Big time!!

[@sillyhobbit]

Great tutorial! Really clear. However, I seem to get a jittery effect in my stroke and it doesn't look as crisp as yours does. Any ideas as to what might be causing that?

[@418593]

Thanks for the tut man, exactly what I was looking for. Is there a way to make it seem more fluid? Like the equivalent of an easy-ease key frame but on one of the points of the path?

[@RobertNebelMedia]

Very nice-keeping it simple.

[@joshsevers]

Great tutorial - thanks for this!

[@ruggeronovantanove]

Thank you for the nice tutorial. I have a question, is it possible to link a draw of a hand to the path that you used as mask for give the impression that the hand writes the word? Thank you.

[@LiquidPixelDesigns]

Solid Tut. Thanks Vince.

[@justinontube88]

it's easy for PC just hit Ctrl N and for mac just hit comand and N then set width and hight of the composition and set the time duration of the composition then hit okay!

[@cliqbeeravi2699]

thank you so much. very clearly explained.

[@carmelaeusebio7586]

Thank yo for the great tutorial, we can use it on our thesis for credits:)

[@JayveeMargaja]

[@carlobalani]

Thank you ! you saved my career

[@kcwliew]

thanks - bloody brilliant!

[@CollierDZN]

thankyou makes it alot easier

[@kambal730]

@zetsu75 you should click first the layer you want to mask then start tracing it with pen tool you'll notice the yellow line. If it is yellow then you're already masking it :)

[@Siamh42]
