You should be able to turn the text to the other side with out reversing curve: Don´t know your file though.

As long the parts are editable paths you can grab a portion of the design to alter the size. Maybe like so: Cheers

And cmd+LMB click will let you select any object/s (with additional shift-key) inside a hierarchy/group. Cheers

I was talking about the snippet v_kyr posted not your SVG which works just fine everywhere except AD - so I have the same question like you. And another: Was it really made inside Inkscape or just smuggled through this pipeline because of something? I ask because creating this kind of masks is tedious instead of drawing a stretched ellipse with a proper radial gradient. Cheers

Your text snippet? I made a radial gradient elsewhere that AD can read - that´s all I wanted to say.

This don´t seem a proper SVG file.

Really? I can add these and export to SVG-for-export and they´re all in. Plain_AD_SVG.svg

You might get more info about this topic here:

Your SVG file contains masks for the gradient effect on the strokes (stretched rectangles) which AD can´t read/interpret obviously: Rebuilding via gradient filled ellipses is easy enough though. Cheers

Strange. My screenshot shows another vector.app showing transparency intact. You´re still evaluating in FCP? Make sure it can handle it. I can´t find any hints on Apple´s website regarding PDF import.

Are you sure FCP can handle such PDF files? From what I know you need Green-Bluescreen overlay mode and erase the background color in iMovie. PDFs don´t don´t work in HITfilm. Camtasia can handle PDF with transparency natively. Did you tried my uploaded PDF file? I´m pretty sure the image says: "Nothing will be rasterised" from what he has chosen - so it´s probably a FCP conversion on-the-fly during import. Cheers

I meant where/when have you noticed the background is not transparent?

Where did you checked the PDF? LoveGuitar.pdf

This will affect the text - not the path.

Not the fastest-on-earth-method but mathematically correct:

Then I´d go this route:

Let´s see:

That might be a handy tool - but the question remains: What and where is the right mirror axis?

What is wrong with the result?

Not sure which app you´re referring to. Nonetheless it´s easy to put a rectangle over that area filled with the same color, add the line with the pen tool - voilá UV-Texture.afdesign

Why not? Flipping along 2 axis will mirror. Question is how you determine the mirror axis point - regardless the shape.

Maybe like so: 1. double 2. flip horizontally+vertically 3. draw a helper line along an edge - extend with shift 4. use Point Transform Tool to align

Select all except the cyan circles and Divide - from the result select the biggest parts left and right and delete - select everything except the cyan circles and call Boolean add = crash. macOS held hostage try to force quit AD if you can. Heartcore.afdesign

This is kind of a nonsense set-up (maybe AI driven by its wondrous shape-builder tool) as 3 circles don´t count into the heart-shape (cyan+red) - and it´s not very precise. Warning macOS crashing bug ahead: Here´s a copy with „touching“ circles. Select all except the cyant circle and Divide - from the result select the biggest parts left and right and delete - select everything except the cyan circle and call Boolean add = crash. macOS held hostage try to force quit AD if you can. Heartcore.afdesign I don´t get why you not just use the heart-shape and do some Boolean subtracting a circle from it and adding a second circle: Cheers

Cool - well hidden. Thanks for the hint. Cheers
