Creating animated / motion text for titles

[mhwarner]

Any thoughts about creating animated text for titles using text created in Photoshop and saved as PNG?  I know I can do it directly in PTE AV with the standard text by checking the "Animation" box and for instance picking "Dissolve Smooth".  However, I want fancier beveled text that I can create in Photoshop and save as a transparent PNG file.  I assume that the only way to create a similar automation would be by using a mask and moving it slowly to display the text.  Am I correct or has somebody come up with a better / different way to do it? 

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hi mhwarner,

I don't know if any of these examples can help you get an idea...

Yes, I think you will have to use a Mask if you wish to replicate the 'Dissolve Smooth'.
Very easy to do, just put the background in the Mask & move it across to reveal the Text.
