Adobe After Effects Text Animation Tutorial

Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of 7 minute AE tutorials. Where you learn tips, tricks, and shortcuts in 7 minutes or less. No BS. Just AE.

In this episode, I'm going to show you how to animate multiple lines of text using just one layer. No alpha mattes, no solids, no shape layers, and no plug-ins - just one text layer, some keyframes, and a mask. And you can save this as a preset and bring it into any project with the click of a button.

I hope this helped you out. Please comment, like, share, and subscribe. I've included the project file in the description below, and I'd love to hear your feedback about this course and any other topic you'd like to see covered. Don't forget to be on the lookout for my Udemy course, THE POWER OF SHAPE LAYERS, coming very soon. I'll give you more information about this course in the coming weeks. Thanks for watching everybody, and I'll see you next time.

Super awesome tutorial. I was looking for such word-by-word animation for an hour. Saving this as a preset is a gods' gift too. Thank you!

Saving the presets is heaven I knew how to animate but I never saved them as preset I just saved them as Ae projects files and I get to work around them anytime, thanks so much buddy that's helpful. I'm going to make similar tutorial in the future and I will definitely credit you.

Thank you for this video! Helping me get through late-night frustrations in AE.

Very nice tutorial, also provides knowledge of saving presets for future use. I was looking for something else and came across this one and spent a few minutes watching this. I really like "to the point" type of tutorials like this one. Thank you for the very informative tutorial.

Hey there, how the udemy course going
all good?

[cheerstomonday]

My words are appearing slightly blurred. I have the scrolling text appear next to stationary text, so it's kind of obvious too. Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

My new favorite tutorial <3
But why do you have the POS1 with no animation?

[SMKurama]

Hey thanks for this! i just wanted to ask though, what's the purpose of the Pos 1 if you're not gonna use it at all? I'm quite new to AE and I just wanna get as much detailed info as possible! :)

[John-spif]

I just want to fade in and out each word, how can I do that? And also I want to have control on the speed, if the narrator stops speaking I want a pause too.

[FerranCapo]

How do you do this same effect but for multi line paragraphs? I can't find a way as when I place a mask the lower line will maks the upper line! :-( There has to be a simple way to do this but for multi line paragrpahs, no?
