Introduction

This is the result we will create, a flowing sentence that follows the curve of the shoreline, moving slowly along its path as if carried by the waves. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Text does not have to be straight all the time. In After Effects, text can follow any path via the pass option. In this episode, we will place text along the shoreline of a lake. Create a composition from morning lake footage.

Step 1: Long Text

Type the text 'Ombak datang sili berganti' using the Segoi UI font, size 60, white color. Let the text be horizontal first.

Step 2: Curved Mask on Text Layer

With the text layer selected, choose the Pen Tool and click and drag several points following the curve of the shoreline from left to right. Because the text layer is selected, the Pen Tool creates a mask named Mask 1, not a new shape layer.

Step 3: Path Options

Open the text group and then the pass option. In the drop-down pass, select Mask 1. The text immediately jumps to the path and follows its curve. Each letter stands upright relative to the path because the perpendicular 2 pass option is active.

Step 4: First Margin

Versmarine shifts the text along the path. Drag the value until the text is positioned at the most beautiful part of the path. This value is in pixels, measured from the start point of the mask. At the 0 second mark, activate the stop walk Versmarine with a value of 0.

Step 5: Flowing Text Animation

At the 5 second mark, fill in 600. The text now flows slowly along the shoreline. Press F9 to make the start and end smooth.

Step 6: Preview

Turn off the mask display so the line does not interfere. Then play the preview. The sentence glides along the shoreline curve as if carried by water. The mask shape can be changed anytime, and the text will adjust accordingly.

Done!

Done. We have drawn a curved mask on the text layer, selected the mask in the pass options, understood perpendicular 2 pass, adjusted the versmarine, and animated it so the text flows. In the next episode, we will create a number counter. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for short films?
