Type on not following layer

Question

Here's another one,
When I drag a layer across the timeline, the type on behavior does not move with the layer it is nested in. The indent filter and the fade behavior I have nested move with it, but not the type on behavior.
Anyone else having this problem?

Answer 1

What what what . . .
Either I'm not following this very well (it is 1:15a here so cut me some slack heh) or all you need to do fill your paths with a pattern, right? In this case, just fill the implied rectangle "behind" the word "-NEGATIVE.", filled with white, with a hyphen lookin' pattern.
Why bother with Area Type?
-IF-   you're wanting to fill the black areas in your design with little hyphens that never get cropped/covered up and that look like they follow the shapes they're seemingly filling, that's another matter. Unfortunatley, I have to suggest a blockier font than Futura so that the negative spaces within have a more naturally square area to populate. I think it'll work better, Plus, I think just kocking out the word "NEGATEIVE" from a rectangle sufficiently conveys the concept of negative space. . . . but this isn't the design crit subforum.
