I have finished a ghost writing scene in which a pen writes in cursive a word. The problem i have is that the pen looses scinc with the anmimated opacitiy map attached to the "Word". I have tried to delete some of the keys in the path of the pen it helps but does not cure it. when i bring in the path i relocate object to start YES, reverse NO, Adjust for constant speed, YES is there a trick that will help sync the pen and the map so that they look like the pen is writing ? Thanks Rock, exit

Rock, if you have the exact same number of frames in your KF Scene as you have in your opacity map flic, it should work fine. (also, the "U" coordinates of the texture map MUST go from 0-1) Also trying turning off the "Adjust for constant speed" parameter. – G
