Learnt more here than what I would've in 7 separate 10-min long videos. Thank you for keeping it brief.

Great speed. No fluff. Txs for sharing.

Method 1 is exactly the look I am trying to do in a big project I am working on. I already knew this way of doing it, but thought surely there must be a better way when working with 5-10 lines of text than animating every single line on its own layer. I guess I was already doing the best way without even knowing it.

For Animation 6, instead of creating the rectangular track matte, you can simply go to Opacity under Range Selector and set opacity to 0% (Animator 1 > Add > Property > Opacity). This will help if you have multiple text in your video that have different lengths so there is no need to make a track matte for each text box.

Excellent tutorial guys. I'm still a relative newbie, but found these exercises to be completely useful and explained and delivered in an exceptionally quick and no-nonsense manner. Thank you!

The best software for clip editing. Also, a nice and understandable tutorial.

[TinyMaths]

Great thank you. I almost had a panic attack when thinking of how much work it was going to take to make a few rows of typing numbers by using keyframes and individual characters. Didn't even know about the typing effect in AE, you've saved me a significant amount of time and tedium.
