Today I cover a few different sexy text animations that are all super simple yet bring the freaking SAUCE. From sexy subtitle animations to Apple inspired text animations we learn a little bit of everything. The best part about it is that the fundamentals for these animations are super useful in pretty much any animation you’ll ever work on. Dig in and get to practising.As always, thank you for watching!

Animating your subtitle text that way is nuts. Just apply a text animator. One layer is all you need. That’s what it was designed for.
