Description: In this tutorial I'll show you how to animate Text on a custom path including shape layers & masks. I'll also show you how to animate png files & objects along a custom path. This is a must know effect for any visual effects artist and motion graphics artist. A great tool to have in your vfx arsenal. Learning how to move text, objects, and images along a path is very useful and less time consuming than having to keyframe the position & rotation parameters of a layer. Hopefully this technique increases your motion graphics productivity and help you become an epic visual effects artist!
