Materials Needed: EyeCandy

Open up a new image 400 x 400 with the settings below..

Next choose the gradient you wish to fill your text with by clicking on the style arrow and choosing the gradient ~ see capture below. I chose electric stripe with 45 degree angle.

Next click on the text tool from the left hand side toolbar (the A) see below

Then use your mouse and click on the square (your new image) and the text entry box will pop-up ~~ Make sure the anti-alias and floating boxes are checked ~~ I used plat hand demo and I attached this font to this email for those of you who want it.

Then select ok...You will see your text with ants marching around it...while the ants are still marching around it (see below) ~~

Now go to Effects > plug-ins > EyeCandy > motion trail (see below)

Now a box like below will pop up...

chose 20 for length of pixels....90 for opacity and 180 for the direction and in the box just kept last used...play around with this to see what you like...
Once you've got it how you want it click on the check mark of the EyeCandy window (in the top right hand corner)
then you will see your name come up with ants marching and a motion trail behind it.....
Go to selections......select none......to remove the ants.......

Now you can crop to your liking by clicking on the crop tool to the left. After you click on the crop tool to the left you move your mouse pointer to your image and left click and drag the mouse to form a box to crop the name like you want. See capture below.
