Wobbly Text Animation | After Effects Tutorial

In this After Effects Tutorial, I'll show you how to create this fun and wobbly text animation.

Content:
0:00 Intro
0:15 Setting up the first letter
1:51 Animating the scale of the letter
2:50 Adding the "Warp" effect
3:43 Adding the "CC Bend It" effect
4:52 Setting up the text animation
5:46 Outro

We start with setting up the first letter, by adding some layer styles.
Then we animate the scale of the letter, then add the "Warp" and "CC Bend It" effect to make the movements more fun.
Next we duplicate this composition in the project window and replace the letter.
We repeat that until we have all the letters we need to setup the whole title animation in the main comp. We position the letters along the stroke and adjust the scale und rotation of each letter a little bit. Finally we go into each letter comp and adjust the settings to make them behave more uniquely.

Dear artist...
you use different effects and settings in each project; This is very useful.
This diversity of skills and training methods is encouraging.
Appreciation for your productive and effective efforts.

Ingenious! I was looking for a way to animate incoming letters and stumbled upon this quick and simple tutorial. Since Im more of an anchor point guy, using those two effects to simplify the workflow never crossed my mind lol. So… kudos from a fellow Manuel & Grüße aus Wien 🤓

Engaing, straight to the point, fun and exciting! Damm man! Why I didn't discovery your videos before? :D

[ReallyLuckyDog]

Thank you very much, Manuel, this is a lot of fun. I'll use this for my New Year's post. One change I made was to make the starting scale 50.0, 0%. This will negate the need for the stroke that hides the starting text. Happy Holidays and happy new year!👍🍾🥂🎉
