 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe After Effects tutorial. This one I'm going to show you how to add a stroke and or remove a fill for your text or for your type. And what am I talking about? Well I've got an example right here. Now normally when you left click, and let's just start a new composition, when you put on a, when you add text, I'll just left click in here, I'll type my name. It almost always comes with, there we go, let's try again. It almost always comes with fill activated and no stroke. And in some cases, especially if you're in a motion graphics world, you don't want a fill, you want a stroke, it gives you a little more flexibility. So let's go ahead and do it. I've gone ahead and added in my name. The next step here is if you go to your character panel, if you don't see it, go to window, make sure there's a check mark beside character. Next click on stroke color, you're going to see here where I'm hovering over here on the right, you're going to see a fill color, stroke color, not everybody that's new to After Effects know that this exists. Left click on that and now it's going to make stroke color active. Now I'm going to double click on it, and you're going to see here that it opens the text color box. When you go ahead and move it, I'm going to move it up here to the top right to make it red. If you want to adjust the thickness or the style of your stroke, I've got it set to five, but if you want super thick or if you want super thin, depending on what you're going for, you can just go ahead and adjust that right here, and that's to set the stroke width. Now there are other adjustments, but again I just want to teach you the basic effect. Now we're almost there, but you're still going to notice that the inside has the fill, the black default fill. I'm going to left click on fill color again. Now I'm going to double click on it, and instead of selecting a color from here, which is what a lot of people are tempted to do, what you want to do is you want to left click on this little box down here, so you'll see it here. It says no fill color. Left click on that and you have removed the fill and you've set the stroke, and that's exactly what we wanted. That's all there is to it guys. Thanks for watching this tutorial. Ten more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
