Thank you very much for explaining this to me. As a content creator and Clash Royale player, I always wanted the text on my thumbnail to have this gradient look like a lot of these thumbnails on these Clash Royale videos. And now I can create that look. Thanks to. Much appreciated.

[@rufuspleasance]

thank you for having a video that gets straight to the point AND explains everything that needs to be explained very clearly. this is really appreciated thanks so much

[@QueenChimuanya1]

Thank you for this video. I almost cried trying to solve this😅

[@PandaRose]

This was incredibly helpful. I will be chekcing out your skillshare classes. Thank you!

[@cthonias]

Thanks for this. It shouldn't be this convoluted. I suppose if you wanted to apply a freeform gradient, you could make the type a compound path and make that a mask to a freeform gradient box behind it?

[@PixelAndBracketIllustrator]

You should be able to do that yes

[@SchalkNeethling]

Perfect! Exactly what I needed. Thanks so much.

Thank you very much. This was helpful

[@pashidelic]

Exactly what I needed thanks!

[@PadreDProductions]

Thank you for the tutorial. Works great! I just don't understand why everything in illustrator has to be so **** backwards compared to Photoshop when it's the same company making the same programs. When are they just going to combine them both and only give us options for vector. Or bare minimum make the controls the same in both programs so I don't have to learn everything twice.

[@northburngardens]

Always love your tips

[@swaranbains8326]

so silly we gotta do this workaround- thanks 4 the video

[@ভোমরা]

Thanks man❤

[@carbellsarfo]

So helpful thanks a lot

[@SachinBigData]

Thanks it was a very simple and straightforward tutorial. I had never used illustrator before!!. I was able to do it. But somehow it does not work correctly for 3D text with depth. It colors each character individually not in direction. how to make it work for 3D text.with gradient from left to right.
