I love it!
Cannot use it… how does it work? I onlye get weird small dots and lines…
muito obrigado! demais!
Olá Rafael, aqui no AE CS5 não funcionou, você poderia dar alguma dica para os mais leigos? Abraço.
All I’m getting is lines with random stuff not resembling anything. I’m using CS6 on a high powered computer and I’ve been experimenting with this for almost an hour but I don’t get any results like in the video.
I’m having the same problems on both CS4 and CS5.
I think I figured it out. Change your line space to auto.
Didn’t work here.Still getting that “one liner”
We’ve just updated the scripts. It should work now!
I’ve just tried this on my mac and pc, both running CS6. It works beautifully on my mac, and doesn’t work the least bit on my PC.
Thank you for the update and most of all for the script! CS4 & CS5 both working perfectly.
cool! 🙂
This is just brilliant! Thank you.
wow it makes life bight ☄
Can you make a tutorial on how did you animate the text like in the old video games? Anyways cheers for the great script! 😉 Thanks.
I just used the text animation presets of After Effects… 🙂
amazing. And for free. Thanks a lot guys !
