Using text animators, you have numerous options for animating each letter, word, or line of text. It’s quick to set up and easy to edit what the text says even after you’ve created the animation. Plus, you can save the animation as a preset so you can easily reuse it on any text layer, in any After Effects project; no need to recreate or even import anything. You can even share text animation presets with others.
Plus, I’ll show you 8 different examples that demonstrate a wide range of possibilities. Using what you learn, you’ll be able to create your own unique text animations.

Text animators work a little differently than other types of animation in After Effects. This means that if you already have experience with After Effects animation, but haven’t touched text animators, you’ll get a lot out of this class. It also means that you don’t need to know a ton about After Effects, although you should know some basics like how to create a composition and set keyframes.
If you’ve never used After Effects before, you can watch my quick After Effects orientation video and then you’ll be ready to jump into this class.

...and I’m an explanimator. I have over a decade of professional experience writing, illustrating, and animating educational animations.
I've taught motion design to 40,000+ students on online and at the University of Colorado.
I know where beginners get stuck, because I was stuck there too. I’m a self-taught motion designer, striving to help you learn motion design more efficiently than I did.
I write, illustrate, and animate educational animations to empower healthier choices for us and our planet.
I also share what I know about animation through online classes.
Great class! I had been trying to figure out text animation for a long time on my own, but unfortunately I didn't get the logic of it. Thanks to this special course I have a very clear understanding of text animation!
