  • Text expression to go quicker over time

    Posted by Caleb Sandoval on July 9, 2013 at 11:12 pm

    I am trying to change the speed from one point in time to another for the quiver text expression. I clicked the stopwatch but it brings up a yellow box. i tried changing the axis and the wiggles/second from the two places in time I wanted it to occur but it is not changing over time. It simply stays the same and changes when it arrives to the second yellow box.

    The “yellow boxes” that you’re referring to are keyframes.

    I strongly recommend that you start here to learn After Effects: https://adobe.ly/bjBT3P

    Not sure I understand exactly what you’re saying, but if you do the animation in a preComp, then you could simply use time remap to increase the speed over time in the main comp.

    right i understood that, but usually my keyframes are usually diamonds. I thought that there was a reason why it was a box instead of a diamond this time. maybe the reason I couldn’t get it to do what i needed it to

    See this page for the various keyframe types, including Hold keyframes.
