  Text Coming Out of Other Text

  Posted by Nash Ren on December 1, 2012 at 5:34 pm

  So, I’m not a pro when it comes to After Effects.
  But since I’ve been experimenting so many new things, I have this crucial question.

  How can I make a text come from another text?
  Example (at 3seconds +): youtu.be/BzdqiFqXJCU?t=3s

  Thanks.

  I think this effct is achieved by animating a mask.

  If I use the an animated mask to do this, isn’t better to use solid images without background?

  But… Isn’t there any other way?

  Take a look at :45. What I would do is place the word “Inside” inside a comp after I animate its move. Then add a mask to the comp so the text animates from nothing to its final destination. Hope this helps and best of luck.
