Diana Hughes demonstrates how to animate text along a path in After Effects for AEtuts as part of their After Effects Basics series… seriously I am not using the X in basics, thats ridiculous!
Have you seen those animated adverts, where the text seamlessly moves along path?

A custom path is a vector path that is drawn freehand using the pen tool in After Effects.
