    After the 2:05 mark you should have went into detail all the other tools you used to blend everything better. had to watch it in 0.25x speed to catch all the other tool that make the big difference's. Still amazing video.

      @pahmeegoreng4072 Před 4 lety +28

      So you guys need to make three of the text and select all of it using "direct selection tool", after that go to "Type" and select "create outlines". You guys could move the words using the "direct selection tool" and move it to your liking. Once you're there click the "blend tool" and choose specified steps and enter any number you want and then click the words.
