The other day on Twitter, a user by the name of P.U.G. asked me...
"Hey Daniel, can you make text move like this in Filmora?"
That's a great question!
Hey P.U.G.

The first thing you want to do is create a text
track so going to the upper left and click on the titles tab I'm gonna use
the search bar and just find the default titles and bring those down into my
timeline this has no specific animation or style to it if you double left-click
on that track in the upper left you'll be able to modify this text let's change
the actual words and you can also control the font size here and make it
larger or smaller I'll leave it right at 80 for the time being now I can change
the font from the drop down using any of the fonts installed onto my computer I'm
gonna go with this yummy font that I purchased online I'll leave a link down
in the description if anybody's interested in finding it it was pretty
similar to the one that pug had showed me now once you have your text in place
in the upper left click on animation and I want you to scroll down until you find
up down to these are in alphabetical order which makes it a little easier to
find them double left click on that and it will apply it to your track but this
is only part of the effect if you hit play you'll see that it does pop up the
text will hang there for a while and eventually it moves back down but it
doesn't have any of that off-axis spin like the other texts that pug showed me
so the way to achieve that is in the upper left click on effects and then in
the drop down on the left under filters you'll see shake let's choose the mild
effect and bring that down into a track above our other text track in our
timeline now you can stretch that out as long as
you want and now you'll see when the text plays it kind of gives it a little
bit of motion now this text is hanging up top to long and it's not getting the
effect that I want so let me shrink that way down and look at that again that
quick bounce is much better for this effect now if you left click on that
text track down in your timeline you can control the amount of motion and twist
that this text will receive from the effect
and if you want to add more lines of text just right-click on your text track
in your timeline choose copy right-click again and paste it afterwards then you
can left-click on that and change the text to whatever you want now this gives
us multiple lines of bouncing text but we're not done yet let me shrink down
this extra effect and I'm going to bounce this footage and when I say
bounce I mean export it at a high resolution so
that I can bring it back into my project with the effect already attached to it
you'll see why this is important in a minute let me get rid of everything in
my timeline go to my media tab and let's import that bounced footage now if you
want to apply this effect on top of an image or piece of footage start by
bringing that down into your timeline on to your main track and then bring your
bounce text footage into a track above it now you'll see the black immediately
covers everything below but if you double left-click on that footage down
below in the upper left you can turn on the chroma key feature choose the
eyedropper bring it over to the black and click anywhere in this black and it
will remove it from your track now your text will bounce up into your track
without any of that black obscuring anything below it the reason we had to
do it this way is if we had just applied the shake effect over the entire project
it would have made everything move which is cool if you actually want that to
happen but in this case I want the background not to move at all and just
replicate what pug asked me about now one other advantage you have of doing it
this way is you can split these text tracks separate them and then you can
control the speed and duration of each so that you can make them happen slower
or more quickly that will allow your text to either disappear or hang in your
screen for the right amount of time that you need it to for your project if you
want to learn more fill more tips tricks and techniques make sure you click on
the video on screen all the ones I'll post down below and if you have any
questions leave them down in the comment section
Stay safe out there!
Peace!
