My favorite use for Write On is to keyframe the brush position to cover over a handwritten signature or other text, then set it to reveal image instead, thus having the signature look like it’s being signed. Or…. Wait for it…… Written On.
Your channel name is like a sparkle of gold - I can always rely on your tuts to give me a thorough explanation of an effect - TEACHING and not just giving a step by step walkthrough.
Hey it’s a mantra to live by. Believe me, if you don’t name your layers and you hand off an AE project to me, I’ll be cursing your name in four languages.
Even for these effect that might be obsolete, it’s cool to hear about them, so thanks for being a completist. :-) Write-on seems to have some similarities with Echo
This effects has an advantage over shape layer strokes with trim paths for revealing irregular weighted text because you can vary the brush size which makes a local change to a portion of the stroke rather than global.... it also has an inherient way of masking. So that's neat...however curves are not really curved like a stroke path because the write on effect uses a location controller
I use the write-on effect to create a math porn by animating the brush position with basic trigonometric expressions Math.sin and Math.cos depending on time
Is it actualy possible to animate things like Opacity, Stroke, and Feathering over *time* with shape path strokes? I know you can taper the SP strokes but if your animating them across a line the taper will follow behind. Where Write-on seems to create the shape at the moment in time. A small difference but one that can be very helpful with specific effects.
When you are going to explain" Element " and " cinema 4D" in Adobe after effects? I hope that you make " element effect" video tutorial as soon as possible. Sincerely,
Element 3d is extensively covered by the creator. Watch all of video copilots tutorials featuring it to learn absolutely everything you need to know. Check out @eyedesyn for c4d tutorials.
