Writing with the Pen

 

Writing your title with the pen is a very elegant effect that many of your clients will love. This is very easy to do since we have supplied an animated pen for each and every word.

Since the tracks for the characters already have the position date from the 2D Editor FX on them and because Liquid has a neat feature where it can duplicate a track complete with this FX on it, we can take advantage of these features to add the pen very easily indeed.

 

The word animation tracks are duplicated, the tracks to something meaningful and we added the pen animations.

The completed result
Particle Effect

These animations have the same name as the word but with the suffix "_stars" added.

They are added in the same way as the pen, by simply duplicating the word animation tracks with empty tracks and placing the particle effects on them. Particle effects are of a slightly longer duration than the same word or pen animation, this is so they can fade out gradually at the same time as the next word begins to write.
