Answers.Body: <p>If you have the cube animation as a rendered file and can't mess around in the original animation, I would try corner-pins. Simply track the corners by hand by keyframing the four corners of the corner-pin to the corners of each face and apply it to your text layer. You might want to precomp the text first and apply the corner-pin onto the precomp, so you're able to rescale and modify the text alone from inside the precomp.</p>

Body: <p>can anyone take a look at the animation I've made and provide some insights?
  Here is what I've got so far.

  <p>The problem: texts are floating when the cube is rotating.</p>
  <p>Current method: I have a cube animation as the background and I added shaper layer and text to each face. For each face, I parent the text to shape layer and use path to adjust the shape as the cube rotating.</p>
  <p>Question: is there a better way to scale the text correspondingly as parent shape layer resizing?</p>
