Signature Effect

[Linda King]

Hello everyone,

Is there a default titling effect or feature that makes the title look like a handwritten signature?

You know the kind that you see in wedding videos where a paint brush or pen paints a title (no hand visible) on the screen. I love that animation effect.

I don't see feature in the title tab. Or is there some trick that can be used to achieve this effect. I hope I was clear in describing what I want to do....

VS can't do exactly what you want, but may be able to come close. Use the Fade attribute, and have the animation fade in by Character. You'll have to be the judge.

Maybe someone else will chime in with third-party software that will do the trick.

I don't know the cost but the best software to do that is heroglyph

The cheaper - though less effective options:
