Intermediate Text Animation - Adobe After Effects

Text animators are an amazing part of After Effects. In this tutorial we create more compelling and interesting text animations using offset. In this lesson, we’re going to combine range selectors, combine animators, and explore more nuanced motion with easing and shaping the ranges. I hope you enjoy these examples and explorations of typography animation.

omg you had perfect timing with this upload. tomorrow I have to finish a video, and one section was still feeling like some really bland text. the wiggly explosion is a perfect thematic fit for what I needed (finding order from chaos), I'm gonna implement that first thing tomorrow morning.

Love it. I always kind of avoided text animators and just worked with plugins. I've been meaning to wrap my head around this for ages.

Wish I could give this more than just one like. The layering aspect is so helpful.

Another excellent video, expertly explained. Really appreciate you doing a video on this, as I use text animation somewhat often but once I start doing more complex things I start to get lost, especially in things that are harder to see like the easing percentages. Thanks so much, keep it coming!

Wow Great Video. If you will ever have time please make a short video about loopIn() + loopOut() - value expression. I was amazed by it never saw other use it and its so useful.

Thanks! Can I save these and reuse as presets once I've got them right?

[kylesperhour]

Is there any way to make the wiggling text loopable in your comp? Thanks for another great tutorial!

[babubatliwala]

hey evan, motion 4 is released please make video about it

[sahandii]

Is there ANY way to use parent nulls property (like position) to the Start/End values of a range selector? I would like the range selectors to act as a ref for custom layer elements to interact with the text. Hope that makes sense.

[richochet]

Can someone walk me through please that expression; loopOut() + loopIn() - value

?

would have it loaded up on their laptop and I’d ALWAYS assu they stole it. I’m older and I thought about cracking it again but I plan on
