Here’s a challange…
Hi,
Have a look at the ice titles in this; https://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/the_ice_harvest.html
How hard do you think on a scale from 1 to 10 that would be in ae 6.5 pro?
I’d love to do… but…..
Let me know what you think!!

Well, I’ve given it 10 minutes:
You could go for displacement mapping, but for this particular one I went with manual animation of the two pieces.
First you need to have an animated growing ice fragment. A simple mask in a wedge shape, revealed over time.
Then I created a separate composition for the Title.
This composition is then dragged into a 3rd comp (Final Comp) – together with the Animated Ice Fragment comp.
Using the Set Matte effects, I set the Ice Fragment comp as the matte for the text layer. Now I duplicate the Title layer and inverse the matte on the top layer.
Now we have the complete title, but in two fragments on separate layers.
I animate these two slightly to move apart after the crack is complete.
From here it’s playing around. I quickly added some CC Vector Blur around the cracked edge, and a blueish gradient to match the look.
You could easily add some of the extra texture and icy elements in photoshop, and reveal them using an animated mask – but I was guessing that the above part was what you needed :-). It’s still a bit crude, but I have to get back to work 🙂
Here’s my AE project. Hope together with the brief explanation it makes sense.
