Great effect I do have a general problem though and would really need some help with it. When you drop the Text and Spline into the Spline Mask you have a shift of your keyframes and timeline, meaning it is now an element of Spline Mask. My r.13 version doesn't do that, it even doesn't add elements to the timeline when you create then unless you do a drag and drop. Now this is driving me nuts as I can't do the end effect around the 10mins of the tutorial (the silver casing). Can anyone help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Thanks. Lucas Hey!

You can turn all the splines in your imported Illustrator Path into one spline by right clicking all the individual splines and clicking "Connect and delete" you should be able to use this spline to do the tutorial :) Not sure if this is still helpful to you, but I was having the same problem.

Instead of a text object I used a path made in Illustrator as my Spline. (I tried increasing the resolution of the spline but that did not seem to help, Uniform, 50) Any help at all would be much appreciated.
