I've been trying and trying to get the following animated text effect and I'm about to pull my hair out. I've tried doing it with expanding, feather effects, etc. and no luck. I've googled it a million times and have searched for other tutorials on the web and so far I can't seem to pull it off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

so i was messing around on psp x2, and i wanted to get my text lines thicker like this banner my friend made:

however, instead of doing this effect, i get something like this:

i've been messing with the stroke width for like, ten minutes now trying to put it back to normal. i can't remember what number it was on before and now my text looks horrible no matter what font it's on.
right now, it's on 1.
i don't know if it's just because she has photoshop that she can get her font to look like that, but man, i need help to get it back to normal or how she had it. coz right now, it's not cutting it.
so any help would be appreciated. xD;
