warp text into custom shape affinity designer or photo

[macerto]

I have Affinity Designer and I've noticed there is no easy to warp text into a custom shape (a heart for example) like you can do in Illustrator.
Example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDWcrCzzwxw

Is this possible in Affinity Photo?

Hi @macerto,

Welcome to the forums. 

Affinity photo does have Mesh warp, but it's a manual process rather than an automated one to fit a shape. You will have to manually adjust the mesh to fit the shape. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Here you'll find a tut for just this problem.

Look for "text in form". It's in German, but nevertheless easily followed.

@catlover  In that video he just shows how to put text in a shape unless I missed something.  What I'm talking about is 'morphing'  the text to the shape.as well (for example the fish in the video I linked)
