Thank you for the hint to the Variety script.
The name of the video should be : "Using VARIFONT in After Effects"

I yearn for a future where these features are natively inside AE. VariFont is a good first step but is clunky to work with on long projects with lots of different slides... but it otherwise works well.

I think that's amazing, I used to animate a font's path to convert it from light to black. That's a great plug-in.
Next time, do some Bruce Springsteen typo animation :)

I have a memoir piece about growing up with tourettes. That's around 3, 000 words. I want to make the text appear as if it has tourette's, twitching, etc. Would a project be able to handle that amount of characters or should I split it up into multiple separate animations? Also, any recommendations for exporting for the web? Ultimately, I want the memoir piece to be a single web page. Thanks for any reply!

I don´t know if you can help me, but varifont doesn´t seem to find the variable fonts installed in my computer.

Nice video! Does Variety work with Adobe fonts?

hi there seems to be a red grid appearing when I use Vari Font effect ...not the grid in my afx guides?

I've got the demo but it seems unable to detect the variable font I've got from Adobe Fonts. Any advice? I'm trying to animate the ''Obviously Variable'' font.
