hi

I was trying to follow the tutorial on making masks by using multiple layers. I tried several ways to make a mask from text – in which I suceeded. But, how does one add motion tweening to the text which is the MASK? Perhaps this is a simple thing but if someone could help out this novice (that would be me), i’d appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
