Learn how to layer simple effects to create complex looking animated typography!
There's text pretty much everywhere you look, and today, so much of it is digital. This creates a huge opportunity that relatively few people are taking advantage of: adding animation to that text. With animated typography, you can make your letters pop off the screen, literally or figuratively. You can catch people's eye and amplify your message.
There are so many uses for animated typography such as:
explainer videos
kinetic typography videos
music lyric videos
logos
lower thirds
title sequences
digital greeting cards
websites
digital signage
advertising
social media posts
and more!
There are infinite ways to create eye catching animated typography, that are totally achievable. You don't need to be an expert. If you're new to After Effects, I'd suggest taking my class Animated Lettering in After Effects first.
