Text animators are easily one of the most confusing features of After Effects, but they're also one of the most powerful. If you can get over the initial hurdle of understanding how they behave and how to modify them, you'll infinitely upgrade your efficiency when it comes to animating text. And that's exactly what I'm going to teach you how to do in this video. Plus I'm giving away all of the presets (and more) that I made in this video, so don't miss those!



AE Genius is a series of topshelf lessons specifically designed to help you grow as a motion designer. You'll learn valuable knowledge about After Effects that most don't find on their own, develop good workflow habits, and take one step closer to becoming a certified After Effects Genius.
