    Good afternoon,
    I'm sure this is easy, but I need advice. How can I make my signature (fancy cursive) appear as if I am actually writing it? I know I can "show" a letter at a time, but I want it to actually appear as if there were an invisible hand writing. I hope I'm making sense...
    Thanks!

    Heres a crude example

    What I did was make the signature as an element then covered it with a line paint element and then morph it to reveal the sig underneath. It will take some time but it'll be a nice effect.

    Thanks! I didn't try that...I tried masking, but couldn't get it. I think you may have it! Will let you know how it turned out.

    Whoa! The concept is great, but very tediuos!!!! I just about had it completed and the program crashed on me...
    2 times! That hasn't happened to me since the early versions. Maybe I just had too many points to morph. I practiced on straight lines...looked great, no problem, but the cursive (curved lines) are another story. Any
    more ideas on the top of your head? Just send them over...
    I'm not giving up, just getting tired...
