Hello all.

I am a beginner to Adobe after effects and i started my first project not long ago. I finished my project following a guide on youtube. But now i stumbled upon a question that i hope you can help me with.

For reference: This is the guide i followed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5oGIAGxiA4

The guide tells you how to make a text layer and create a mask from that text. Then give it effects that make it look like it is electrified.

My question is, since i want to use some of this for introes in my upcoming youtube videoes, how do i change the text without having to redo all the layers?

Really hope you can help me on this.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you but i found a solution to my problem.

For thoes interested in the solution do as following.

1: Edit the text in your text layer.
2: Create a new mask from that new text.
3: Mark the mask property in that Mask layer. (Expand the layer and click the mask). Then go to EDIT and click copy.
4: Now go to your design layers and paste onto it. It should replace the old mask with the new one and the new text would adopt the properties for thoes layers. Remember to hide the new mask layer. Or delete it.

Forgive me if i use the wrong terms and such.

Thank you again to anyone that tried finding the solution before i did.
