Me: So it was fractal noise and turbulent displace again?
Ben: Always have been.

This is class! With the issue with the words of different length, when you are animating the opacity between words, you could also animate the tracking of the letters on both words, making the short word subtly space wider and have the long word really bunched up initially and then easing into its normal length. Such a wicked effect though Ben, keep up the wizardry!

No wonder why you label this "Ultimate ...". This is much better than using traditional text morphing techniques. The best part is the flexibility to replace any text. Re-usable and very convenient. Thank you very much.

This man is a mograph machine! So much great content, Ben. Your Motion Design course has been beyond fantastic. Looking forward to week 3!

[AyoubProds]

I hope you'll be making a fully beginner-friendly course to Motion Design in the future, I've checked your course and it looks amazing but it felt like it was advanced for me. I think my level is a bit intermediate with AE but I really want to learn motion design as a career and I want to start from the absolute basics. Thank you so much for the fantastic content!

I'll be stuffing this into every project that comes to me for the next 6 months and you can't stop me.

Radical AND easy? Wow. And super straightforward tutorial with efficient process. No unnecessary long dialog/over-explaining/urge to increase the playback speed. THANK YOU!

[VadimID]

Wow. This technique is very cool. All these tools were available many years ago, but there were no such tutorials. This can be used not only with text, but with many different things.

Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel enlightened

Ben's just knocking it out of the park again.

[taebae]

I've been hardcore bingeing your videos and haven't seen my family in a month....THANK

[EmmaEryn]

i am binging your entire channel right now, i took one class in AE in college like two years ago and i decided it was time to really start using it and i feel like i've learned 10, 000% more just by watching your videos!!

[CyborgCollective]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much. Always appreciate short and to the point tutorials.

[ariasbarbagallo]

I've searched YouTube far and wide for this. You did it again Ben. Thanks!

[GhostMcGrady]

Dude! I’ve seen a bunch of ways to morph text but this might be my favorite! So sick dude.

8:04 Huge fan of this little AE file animation. It's so simple and fun and communicates exactly what it needs to.

[dfvid]

Had to stop mid tutorial to give you a 'cheeky like'. Top tutorial, once again!

[nishantnijosson]

A clean morph, no BS, and no frills. Can't get better than that 🏅

[atternok]

The best one you do is, giving the project file for free !!! This helps me a lot. I use it as an template to make other projects and even helps me understand the making more easily. Thank you Ben !!

Excellent tutorial. Very easy to follow and a lot simpler than other techniques out there, but still a quality result. Thank you!
