What you need:
PAINT SHOP PRO I use Paint Shop Pro 9.
ANIMATION SHOP
Open up a new image. Any size will work.
Type what you want it to say. I'm just going to use my name. (Jessica.)
Once you have it typed out, click Apply. (Make sure your set to floating and not vector.)
Hit CTRL + C to copy your image. Delete your text. Flood fill your blank image with a border color. I'm using white. Hit CTRL + E to get your text on your new white image. Go to SELECTIONS > MODIFY > EXPAND and expand it by 2. You should now have something that looks like this.
Now you need to hit CTRL + C and open up animation Shop.
Once you've got Animation Shop opened up, press CTRL + V.
Switch back over to Paint Shop Pro, and click your change to target button.
Put your brush shape as round, size 50. Change your foreground color to black, and run your brush over your image. You should now have a grey text instead of your starting color.
Press CTRL + C, switch over to Animation Shop, Press CTRL + SHIFT + L, and it should paste it behind your current animation.
In the first frame of your animation, right click and click on Insert Image Transition.
Once you have that. Make your settings like mine:
Click "OK", Go to View Animation, and you should have something resembling what I have below.
