Here's mine:
Btw, i followed a different tutorial that's like yours And I did the color thing different. I just have 1 question though. When you put the text in like an avatar, how do you make it so that the words stay there instead of disappearing and appearing? This is what happened to me And I tried putting the text in first before animating, but it only let me animate 1 word Thanks for the tutorial! |

Sora You see how your letters like O's there is no middle. You cand to fill it in when your a filling in ur outline color instead of leaving it transparent.

You can make animated text on PhotoFiltre???
I never knew that..... Can you PM me how to Tab?(You don't have to if you don't feel like it) I thought that you couldn't make anything animated on PhotoFiltre |

You have to save it frame by Frame. So if the text is 20 letter you would have to make 20 sep. and then use an animation program to animate it. At lease that is what i think.
