    Good day all,

    I am try to find what everyone recommends for Text Animation plugins for After Effects, other than the ones that come already installed. What other plugins are out there for text animation? If I had the time, yes, I could spend time build a couple, but I have to crank out a spot in four hours, so for me it is easier to modify a current effect than to configure one from scratch.

    I greatly appreciate all responses!!!

    Cheers,

    btveditor

    do you mean you’re looking for presets or do you want a stand alone application used a plugin?

    Boris, Trapcode, Digital Anarchy, and Zaxwerks are the plugs but I don’t know who makes any of these things anymore, check Red Giant software.
    Presets? I just try to modify the hundreds that come with AE. What more could you want that isn’t already there?

    “I just try to modify the hundreds that come with AE. What more could you want that isn’t already there?”

    There is plenty more you could want than the 1995 Text Animation preset library Adobe has had for years. These templates are good jumping off points to make your own custom animation presets but that’s about it. A lot of them just look plain terrible, I mean awful, but we all know this. I’m surprised there are not more resources out there to get presets besides Adobe’s gallery which is also lackluster in what it offers for animation presets.
