Thank you sharing these valuable lessons 😇🙌

I like the way the letters look like they fly off when time-reversing the KFs.

[Pete_Furlong]

This is great learning for me. Thank you. For some reason, the blur animator is not working on the 3rd animation example - the text won't blur no matter how high of a value I enter. Any idea why?

[Hurstacular]

Good sir, I just want to say I really appreciate all the work you do!

[singhkrishanu]

Thanks a lot sir. Please keep making more such videos. Helps a lot for us beginners.

[ernmolina]

Hey man! thank you! I just love the 3rd one <3

[ReidVV]

I was just wondering if there was anyway to set up after-effects, so key frames that you add are automatically easy ease (without needing F9) and you will have to manually change them back to linear key frames. I asked this because everybody's always hitting F9 to change to that type of key frame but why not have so you set AE to default to be like that and have keyboard shortcut or click to change it back to a regular key frame?

Thank you so much man ! Really helpful !
i'm ok with videos but when i gotta get creative ideas for motion design i'm really bad at it.
These animations are gonna be a big help to create a clear and smooth animated video.
Explanations was clear and straight forward, wich is appreciated !

Any chance to know the font you were using during the tut ? I kinda like it because it has these "round" lines and my fonts are way more "squar-esque" than that

[zesto]

This video helped me a lot sir! But is it possible for me to combine the second and third one?

Instead of the text being animated outawrds like the third effect, I want it to be like the 2nd animation where the blur is still there and letters are still randomized but the text is moving upwards.

Thanks again!

[kempy]

for the 2nd text animation is there a way to make one word come up fully before the next word. so if my text said Hello words and I wanted the hello to be fully up before the World comes up.

[seraphimstudio]

I really do appreciate.. Thanks a lot..

Informative, but pacing felt a bit slow in some parts

[meganwhitworth]

Since its been 8 months, not sure you'll see this - but any suggestions how ways to make this process more efficient if using these type of text effects for captions on videos? Maybe using presets? Thank you!

[zarinahsguides]

Thanks for putting out the video; however, I immediately couldn't follow the first effect because you assumed people knew how to access the text preset effects. It would be best not to assume and to let people know how to find the things you are using, especially because those presets are not located to left like you had them by default.

What fps should your project settings be at for these animations
