all right hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I'm Ignace Aleya from toleratedcinematics.com
today we're going to take a look on how to create a
clean and simple text animation that just looks so professional in Adobe
After Effects alright if you didn't know already in Adobe After Effects you can
apply individual animation effects to your text after effects itself already
comes with a few presets that you can apply to your text but honestly these
effects really suck and today I'm going to show you how to apply your own
effects to your text and just how to make them very clean and simple this is
super easy to do but it doesn't have to be hard to do and it doesn't have to be
complex to just look simply amazing so today we're gonna take a look on how to
fade in our text together with a nice blurred fly to it and we're going
through the animation effects a little bit and see what we can do alright I'm
actually also working on a preset text animation pack which it's currently
enough out yet but when you're watching this video it might already be out I
will put a link in the description once it's ready on our website and apart from
that I'll just go ahead and check our website we have a bunch to offer for
filmmakers and motion graphics artists and it also helps to support the channel
so without further ado let's open up Adobe After Effects and get started
if you enjoy my videos be sure to hit the subscribe button and hit the bell
icon to make sure that you get notified when I upload new videos all right here
we are in Adobe After Effects and the first thing that we'll do is create a
new composition I will make my composition full HD which means 1920 by
1080 pixels and then a frame rate of 24 and maybe something like 10 seconds
along would be perfect I will rename my comp to main composition and click OK
so now what we will do is click on our text tool and simply click over here and
write something of course this font sucks so the first
thing that I will do is actually write correctly and then I will go and search
for my favorite font which is called Plato which is a free font that you can
download online so later here we go I'm going to make it a little bit smaller
and right here you can also make it a little bit more like give it a little
bit more space in between so it looks a little bit more cinematic in my opinion
maybe let's go for a medium kind of thickness and there we go so now we have
our text what I'll do is go to my selection tool go to the outline tab
right here and just click and these two buttons to Center your text on your
composition lighting alright so in the effects and presets what you can do is
go to the animation presets we can go into the presets in themselves and right
here you will find a folder called text and in this folder you will find a bunch
of free presets that come with in After Effects and if you apply one of these
you will see that these have kind of animations depending on where your kind
cursor is right here in your timeline there is where the animation is going to
start so let's drop in by character and click and drag this onto our text and
let's preview so now we have something like this going on so this is what the
presets are actually doing I'm going to undo that for now and make our own so
what I will do is click on our text layer and go to the animation right here
in the menu and go for animate text opacity and there we go we will see this
in our timeline so what I will do is actually go to the arrange selector and
go into the Advanced tab as everything is open I'm going to make it a little
bit bigger so you can see it clearly but we will animate our opacity to fade and
so if we're actually going to zero out our opacity and play with the offset
here we'll see that our text actually gets faded in like this so what we'll
actually do is go to the beginning of our timeline click on the stopwatch for
offset and then Iran maybe five seconds we'll go to 100 percent in the offset
and that way our text is going to fade in like this currently it's fading in
from characters we can also make this Faden by word and things like that so
how to do that is actually simply in the Advanced tab right here you see based on
characters if we change this to words it's simply going to fade in the words
which can also be very cinematic and very cool you can see this is so simple
to create but immediately it ups the quality of your text animation and your
titles so yeah these are simple tricks that you can do as a beginner to make
your video just more interesting so what I will do is go for the characters
because these give a little bit more detail in this kind of animation but the
words is also a pretty cool effect so for the shape are currently set to
square which means that it's actually going to fade in quite roughly if we're
going to change the square to ramp up it's going to have a smooth animation
just like this all we have to do here in the beginning is set our offset to minus
100 instead of zero and now we're going to have a nice fade in like this which
looks amazing in my opinion before we continue this video I would like to
present you our website designed for filmmakers and video editors to improve
their workflow we offer templates presets high-quality pre-made packs
soundscapes essential graphics and much more if you don't have time to create
something of your own or you just want to speed up your workflow definitely
check out our website with a link in the description below
all right next what we will do is actually add a new animator so click on
our text and go to animation animate the text and we're going to add a tracking
in here we're going to click on the stopwatch ready tracking amount in the
beginning of our timeline and drag all the way till the end and just increase
your tracking amount to what you want so something like five should be fine not
too much and that we are sexually going to fade out like this it's going to
stretch the text a little bit but on character basis so it's not going to be
scaling and changing a ratio just in this case make sure that your text is
actually centered so go to the paragraph tab right here and make sure the center
the text is centered otherwise is going to scale from the left or the right just
like this and this gives it a little bit of a cinematic movement and makes it a
little bit more interesting than just a simple Faden so next what we want to do
is add another animation but this time we're going back to our animator one you
can see right here we actually made two animators the reason being is we want
our tracking not to be affected by the range selector right here but we do want
our blur to be affected by the range selector so what we'll do is click on
animator 1 go to add property and we're going to add some blur so that's right
here blur and we're going to just increase our blur do something like we
like something like 50 should be fine and now it's going to fade in but it's
also going to have the blurry tiles which are going to get sharp over time
so this is a very cool and very cinematic animation that you can do so
simply in Adobe After Effects but that instantly ups the quality of your video
so yeah that's what we're going to be making in our text preset back we're
going to make a bunch of presets they can just go ahead drag on your text and
get results just like this so and definitely check it out once it's online
we're working hard on making a lot of cool and cinematic presets for these
text animations if you want you can also add this to your premiere timeline all
you have to do is click on a window and go to essential graphics and you can
save it as an essential graphic I actually have a video on how to make an
essential graphic but simply go to the master right here select the composition
where your text is at and then all I have to do is solo
supported properties and all I have to do is hear source text drag it into your
essential graphics and then just export it and now each time that you're going
to import it in the essential graphics of Adobe Premiere Pro you can simply
change the text in Adobe Premiere Pro and it's going to key that exact same
animation and as you made it yourself the fonts and everything will be synced
together in Adobe Premiere Pro you will have an awesome animation alright so
that's it for this tutorial I hope you enjoyed it if you did give
this video a like also subscribe to the channel for more and definitely check
out our website we have a bunch to offer and as I said it helps you support the
channel so that will be awesome thank you and see you on the next one
good bye
