For those like me who had troubles doing this: it's absolutely vital to do the pen-tool path WITH the text layer selected! If you look closely, he selects it at the beginning and no second layer (the one of the pen tool trace) appears. It all "belongs" in the text layer, which automatically becomes the mask of the stroke when you apply the Generate Stroke effect. Doing it separately (first a text layer, and then a pen tool layer) won't work!
I am so close to getting this right, when he gets to the part where you animate it i dont seem to have that worked out at the last moments, i do all the steps and then it doesnt change anything on the screen when its being played to "reveal"

Thanks dude awesome

Great, but what if your backgrouns is not white, and is a pattern? I can see the stroke that was created in white. What do you do in that situation?
How can I export it so I can use it over a video without the white background?
thanks man
Thanks!!!
life saver
My effects control panel isn’t appearing when I click generate > stroke. How do I open the panel?
Does this work with shape
Or illustrator layers?
Ready font is not available to download. Can you provide link?
Good way but you miss a part is when the stroke is crossed it reveals a part of it before it's reached
Hi. I was searching a solution for that problem in my project and found this video and your comment. So do you know how to solve it. Thanks!

How do you export your signature with a transparent background for overlay??
Search for render with alpha layer to keep the transparent background. Works in most softwares, if not in some probably is RGBA (RGB+alpha)
You should make a tutorial on making a wallpaper
