Cool “text preset” effects – trying to make exciting type animation……expressions?
Hi People,
As we know there are text preset animations within after effects. Does anyone know of any third party presets available to add to the default library? I want an effect which essentially adds randomness to each character of a word or sentence. Each character needs to start large, move erratically then form the word / sentence and then quickly dissipate. Think title sequences for spy films / sci fi films etc. I can use (in a limited fashion) expressions as regards animating a whole word but when it comes to effecting each character my skills are just not there. Using motion sketch I can get some really nice random motion again on a whole word (the beauty of using a wacom tablet) but I need an effect which controls each character differently and there are many words to be animated hence the need for an effect into which I can “plug in” any word. Any help greatly appreciated.

It’s kinda hard to visualize exactly what you’re seeing – as it seems to be very specific. I suggest that you take a look at freebies that I’ve made available at broadcastGEMs.
Once you’re there, goto the Freebies/Download link and look for the last link in the freebies section. There could be something there that you may find suitable – albeit with some tweaking.

Thanks for the link – had a look! I guess you’re right – I am being a bit specific and I doubt it’s easy to get a “fits all” solution. I guess the real solution is good old fashioned animation!
