After Effects In this new tutorial on After Effects, we'll look at a technical coveted: transform fluidly dynamic and any letter in another.
At the end of this training, you will be able to perform controlled transitions between your vector shapes. And it goes beyond course not only typos!
We will also see how to give a look at our colorful and pop compositions, adding a variety of effects on our layers.
This tutorial is accessible to all: no plugins, no scripts, just the basic functions of After Effects.
(The project provided in the download requires him CS5, but you can follow this tutorial with CS4)
- Turn text layers into vector shape layers
- Understand the different types of letters (rigid, rounded, with or without holes)
- Make transitions between two forms, while controlling the morphing accurately
- Add a lag effect in the transition to a more dynamic
- Make transitions between different letters (A -> O -> X -> B in the tutorial)
- Give one look colorful and nice to all, with several built-in effects
This tutorial is for intermediate users. Beginners, look at the training bases before. The project can not be changed simply, follow the tutorial and apply it to your own letters. The project is free for premium members .
My Vector Type Morphing is kind of rounding! it's not working very well!
What do you mean by "rounding" ? What font did you use ?
what the hell, "Sign up to view this tutorial!" then i sign up and it costs me money? No thanks.
So you want to do work for people for free?
its more of a misnomer. Sign in to view it! oh great i've made an account and signed in. But i still can't view the tutorial.
Well crap, i was under the impression i could view it after signing in.
"Sign in so you can purchase the tutorial!" would be more accurate.
It's clairly mentionned on the page "Purchase the tutorial" with a 6€ price tag in a big red button.. http://share.mattrunks.tv/XG8q/MhogqrMN It's not in my attention to hide that this tutorial is a paid one..
I didn't mean to come off rude, i just found it frustrating 2 years ago that something says one thing but in fact isn't. Nothing to do with money, but principle. But that's his thing, Mattrunks is the man, he deserves more than what he charges for his knowledge.
this is pretty amazing, you solveda shape morphing problem for me. thank you for this tut.
Thank you! Worth the pay @jeffbriant
Great tutorial, your english is very helpful and you make it easy to learn. I had a hard time getting the effect to work with the font Cubano (by Lost Type Co-op), probably because it has rounded corners? The interpolation was much messier, maybe it just takes more manual work. So I wonder... is this effect possible with a serif font, or only sans-serif? Thanks again!
Great tutorial!! Thanks
Im having issues. Everything is turning out really messy. Is there a way to set a second vertex point? or pair up each individual anchor?
I am having trouble getting the letter "H" to morph smoothly. It always seems to cross over on itself. Any tips to solve this problem?
This tutorial is why I joined and it's worth every penny. Great job, especially with the compositing tricks
Nice one. Didn't know how to morph text in AE before. Now I do. :-)
Nice man!
I'm trying to achieve this but the text is jumping a large section to the right. The anchor points are in the center of both vectors but when I copy the frame over, the shape I want to change it to is really far to the right. Do you know why this might be happening?
Hi. I know I'm off date, but I'm getting a really messy vector morph. The vector anchor points switch side when morphing into a relatively similar shape.

Do you have any idea of why this is happening? Or how can I fix it?
Thank you!
