Default Need help with moving text in Vegas

Need some help with some text effects Im trying to pull off in a 'tage Im making. The idea is an moving angle of one of the walls on Zealot, and on the wall its going to say "Don't". Then it will switch to a different angle of a similar shot and say "Blink". I thought it'd be easy at first, but I cant seem to make the text "follow" the wall in Vegas. I want it to look like it was actually written on the wall, but just cant work out how to make it stay in the same spot as the camera moves. Another issue Im having trouble with is a shaking effect, similar to the one seen in LBYL 1.

Get about 30 seconds into this video and when you see the text, thats what Im talking about:

Any help?

I know how to animate, my problem is finding out how to position the text so that it tweens correctly. The only thing I've thought of is making a different text for each frame but that would take quite some time

I'd keyframe it first and add the effect after. You can always tilt the text a little bit each keyframe to "shake" it.

Thanks =) The word "Keyframe" gave me an idea and it worked O_O I've been really overthinking the whole thing.

Got the text moving exactly like I want it. Searching for a way to create a "glitchy" effect on the text. Trying the TV Simulator effect atm.

If your using Vegas and not AAE for shakes (I use aae), use newblue for shakes, very easy and quick.

if u mean shakes on text, its a really simple expression in aae called "wiggle." you could easily look up how to perfect that. just set the expression on the position of the text layer
