@@madyyestoparee It's not your fault. Executing this function feels so archaic I'm surprised Adobe doesn't also make buggy-whips.

@yuzhenwang9764 4 года назад

Thank you for putting all the main steps within the first two minutes. A lot of illustrator tutorials are 10 minutes long when all you're looking for are the three or so clicks it takes to do something. The tip for getting rid of the halo is also much appreciated because I thought it was a rendering bug.

I watched four videos before this one trying to figure out how to get editable gradient text. Some of these videos had hundreds of thousands of views. they didn't help much at all. This one is definitely a five star video!!!! This video was EASY to understand and was short and it WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!!!! Thank you! SUBSCRIBED and will be scouring your videos for more clear, concise and to the point tutorials. I feel lucky I found your video.

Loved your video! Awesome work. It was the first and only video that I searched and watched based on a very detailed Google query. So easy to do. Especially like how you are also in the bottom corner unlike a lot of videos where you just hear a voice. Makes the learning experience so much more personable. Need more videos like yours. Thanks and much appreciated!

@bloohair99 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this Pixel and Bracket, it certainly saves the messy gradient to each letter that you get otherwise. Even when you outline the font, you still can't do a continuous gradient. There's just one thing to note - after applying the gradient fill to the text, you are unable to outline the font. However, if you outline the font first and keep the fill 'no fill' then apply the gradient you get the same effect.

@pixelandbracket 5 лет назад

A likely solution would be to outline, add a gradient to a separate rectangle, then use the outlined text as a mask 🤔.... maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️
