Hi,

I’m trying to create a flash signature effect using the maks method. ’ I create the text, then create another layer which I use for mask. Then I on each frame 2 frame, I put some brush on the text. I apply a shape tween effect on them. On the first letter, everythings goes perfectly, but when I go on the next one, then the mask shape all screw up and destroy the effect. Any suggestion how to do it correctly ?
