    I don’t know of any program that could do that as efficiently as AE. You might want to ask some Apple Motion people—I unfamiliar with that software—as that’s the only other program where you might do something like that. That would be pretty simple to do with AE though, and if you go to youtube, you will find a ton of tutorials on AE + Kinetic Typography.

    After Effects is great for this kind of thing.

    There are good resources here to get you started:

    This course gives a good overview:

    It gets even easier with extensions like TypeMonkey for After Effects:
