Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Text animation question

  • Text animation question

    I love this guys work. Frasier Davidson. You can get what I am trying to achieve in the first 2 seconds of the video…. it does continue throughout the video if you want to watch.

    His text rotates from the top down and swings a bit. I cant match how it looks!

    What I have tried so far is enabling per 3d…. add a rotation animator… move the anchor point to the top… but I cant get the swing at the bottom… or have it fade in nicely the way he does. I can see to add turbulent displacement on the text to give it the jittery look.

    I would appreciate any tips. I feel it has to do with two animators on the text but am having trouble figuring it out on my own. Im glad I have you guys here to fall back on. Thank you.

    You might try a free preset from Mattrunks called AmorType.

    Modify the first animator to 90 degrees X rotation and adjust the anchor point grouping alignment to -100%.

    It looks like the Fraser Davidson example is not fading in but responding to a light in the scene.

    Ridley…. that is perfect. I fudged with the parameters a bit and its exactly what I was looking for. Added an opacity parameter and it works great.

    Dave. You were spot on. Its expressions….. man those guys are smart who write those things.

    “Modify the first animator to 90 degrees X rotation and adjust the anchor point grouping alignment to -100%.”

    This is exactly the answer I was looking for 🙂 Thanks!
