Kinetic Typography Tutorial

This is an ADVANCED tutorial on Kinetic Typography using Adobe After Effects. You should have a basic understanding of key framing in AE before trying this. I don't hang out on YouTube much so feel free to help each other out in the comments section. Hope you find it useful!

This was one of the first After Effects tutorials I watched back in early 2012 when I was in college, I'm 29 now and I work as a motion graphic animator in a local broadcast company. It's amazing to look back and see everything you've learned. Thank you so much for this.

After watching this tutorial. I fried up AE 5.5 for the very FIRST TIME and I got the hang of it after about an hour. Ran into trouble with keyframes. (Stop keyframes are important you'll learn). But 4 hours later and I've mastered this technique. Best tutorial I've ever seen. Can't thank you enough!! :D

I've looked at an embarrassing number of kinetic typography tutorials, and this one has by far been the most helpful. Thank you.

Learning After Effects in my class and the first thing we have to do is Kinetic Typography. Love your tutorial. You get a subscribe!

The work isn't always exciting. That's why it's key to keep your mind focused on the result. You'll find the enjoyment in putting the pieces together like a puzzle.

Love this. Just getting into kinetic typography and ae and have watched a lot of tutorials. Yours is really helpful. I loved animating the null instead of having everything flying all over the place independently. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for this! Informative and fun. (And funny) Speaking from 2016, I guess that means that kinetic typography is now sooo five years ago? Anyway, proceeding to add my secret sauce. Great tutorial!

Holy shit, this is a 2011 video? No wonder the YouTube examples has the old design. Damn! This will live forever!

This is a great tutorial, i wish i could see this 3 years ago, when i got my first kinetic typography project and i spent like 4 days trying to find a way to do it quickly. As i sad, its a great example for those whp want to start with animation&typography. Btw theres a nice shortcut to time your text layers without rendering(playback). Hold ctrl(command if using a mac) and drag the cursor across the timeline. You can hear the audio frame by frame if you want ;)

Ohh my bah-jesus! I love (strong word) your sense of humor. It makes these tutorials more easy to live through. I wish you were my own personal editing instructor. Can you hire a effects instructor like you'd hire a private tennis coach...just with longer shorts? What would it cost?

I wouldn't usually stay on a video for 22:12 minutes but your voice is so soothing and when I've done mine which may take a couple of days as I'm doing a full song I'll video response it. Thanks for the tutorial mate!
