Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Learn how to create the handwriting effect! In this After Effect tutorial, we will take text and animate it on with a “write-on” style. This effect is very easy to do and there is two ways to do it. The fast way where you can add the stroke effect to your masked outline and animate the end parameters. Or the best way where you use the pen tool to outline your text and use the stroke effect for maximum control! After watching this After Effects tutorial you will be able to create your own handwriting effect!

Pro Tip: Skip drawing in the paths by hand and simply right click on the text layer and select Create--->Shapes from text. This will give you each individual letter as a shape. Then you can click the animate properties on that group to add trim paths and there's several different options for them to animate on. Under trim paths be sure to change trim multiple shapes to: individually and it will draw one letter at a time and look more in line with the handwritten effect.
BLESS YOU
but how does it turn into a path?
But that's what he started out quickly mentioning. I am using proper calligraphy not a font. This method covers FAR more.
@@atpdx Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I followed what you said exactly and it looks awful. It's basically drawing each individually as a fill while filling the negative space as well. It doesn't look like someone's writing it at all.
He said to do that, but it's the "quick way" not the "proper way"
I have next to zero knowledge of after effects and this was so easy to follow along to. Subscribed!
For anyone having issues with the stroke animation showing up - when you go to draw with the pen tool, draw on the text layer. You don't need to create a new layer for the pen drawing. Then just make sure you have All Masks selected and Reveal Original Image selected as well.
You're a life saver. I spent way too much time trying to figure this out, and your tip immediately got it working. Thank you, so so much.
You are awesome, took me like 5 minutes to recreate and it looks great. Much appreciated
This was the most effective and simplest explanation of this effect I've ever found. Thank you
Thanks for this! In my case I was working with an image of the signature (vs text) - I just had to swap the Paint Style to 'Reveal Original Image' (in case anyone else is using that method).
Hero
This was 5 years ago but you still out here saving lifes man THANK YOU
Great tutorial even 6 years later. Thank you!
OH MY GOSH! Okay, there's a lot of people in this comment's section that are like "Oh, it doesn't work" Okay IF YOU FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL TO A "T" IT DOES WORK! Thank you SonduckFilm for this tutorial. (If you are experiencing problems, make sure that you select the color of the animated text up at the top, that way it know what color to animate, that was my only problem.)
3:39 "..and it's an absolute disaster." i paused after that sentence and it made me laugh so hard haha thanks for the tutorial its great!
Just got yourself a new subscriber!
Thanks for the video. I've seen a couple of tutorials for this same process, but they had an annoying background music, no voice over... This one is just perfect, very smooth, right to the point, easy to follow.
Looking forward to more tutorials from you 👍
yours is the only tutorial I understand and was able to follow correctly without confusion! 😍 Thank you for sharing this video!
Was able to use this process on a friends event advertising. Thank you!
Third time you've helped me, thank you SonduckFilm
You don't have to click out of the layer to add a new path. Just hit command and click elsewhere or just click the previous node before the last one you drew with the pen tool and click elsewhere, a new path will start
I did about 30 of these of someone's handwriting and in the case of doing an actual sentence you can trace word for word with the pen tool. The writing animation will look smoother and will take less time to complete
Classic effect.
ha!! ya know what ?? ive had this program for years and i never knew about the "Generate Stroke!!" awesomeness cheers man
' and it's an absolute disaster' LOL This was so easy omg i was expecting it to be way harder! THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot! It took me 10 minutes to reproduce it, that's telling how good the tutorial is! Great video Josh, subscribed.

Increase the brush size in the Stroke panel.

When i trace over the letters, is it supposed to be a mask ? a shape layer ? separate masks for each letter ?
It's supposed to be a mask. Use separate masks if necessary.

Thank you!
Thanks! I've always wondered how to do this and now I can do it myself
THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Helped me make what I needed to make, and in CC2019 at that. Thanks a bunch.
Oldie but goodie. Can't tell you how much time I lost labouring over trim path without really understanding what I was doing. This is a much faster method and having tried it on an old, smudged piece of text in a bitmap, it seems to works flawlessly. I tried to look in your back catalogue to see if there were any updates or follow-up videos. Still looking but would appreciate any pointers. In particular, you gloss over the final part at 4:02 too quickly for me to understand what you are doing and why it works.
Perfect, thanks !
Thank you so much for this! Wonderful tutorial.
nice, thank you
Great tute!
Cheers for this - it's a super useful tutorial that is simple to follow and informative! Will be subbing. I'll be using it in one of my future videos (editing today for a video on writer's block/automatic writing).
