Create 5 Versatile Text Animations In After Effects

In this class you will learn how to create 5 different text animations in Adobe After Effects that you can add to your motion design toolkit. These text animations are ones that I use regularly for a wide variety of projects:

1. Dramatic Reveal
2. Box Wipe
3. Quick Move In
4. Jumpy Characters
5. Stroke Swipe

This class was designed with the beginner in mind, but it'll be helpful if you have a base-level knowledge of After Effects (see below for details). We will also be utilizing a few free scripts, but I'll walk you through how to download and install them. I can't wait to teach you some fun text animations!!!

Project Requirements:

• Adobe After Effects CC 15.0 or higher - must have the "create nulls from paths" feature
• Foundational knowledge of After Effects (basic navigation of the user interface, how to use keyframes, creating compositions & pre-compositions, types of layers, selecting and de-selecting layers, parenting, how to access the graph editor, etc.)
• A smile :)
