expanding text in titles
It’s probably in a post somewhere but I’ve yet to find it so I’ll ask (again perhaps). How can I expand text in titles created in Adobe Premier Pro/After Effects (done in so many ads on TV)? I can scale the titles but to have them expand or visually kern the letters in the title is what I’m looking for. Thanks, Robin

That is done in After Effects. You can animate the kerning or leading or anything you wish.

It is possible to “expand” the text (kern & lead) in PremPro but not to animate it.

boris grafitti will do this nicely also. I suppose if you were only doing it on a few titles in a program you could fudge it, just make each letter a separate title, stack ’em up on a separate sequence, animate, and bring that in as a clip – tedious if doing it a lot obviously.

Thanks. I had actually thought about doing this with the titles but there are several so it I thought it would be easier in After Effects. I’ve recently purchased AE so I’m not as familiar with it currently. Do you know of a tutorial that might address this?

AE 6.5 makes this even easier as it includes Text Animations that you can apply. There is a specific animation called “increase tracking”. Then adjust the keyframes to suit…

Thanks Eric. I did try that and had success with it, however I’m having trouble making it appear with a transparent background similar to the title generator in PP. I’m simply trying to layer titles with a little more animation than just scaling. Any tips will help. Thanks again. Robin
