Form two words into one?

[Joseph W. bourke]

A little more detail would be helpful. One the same line? Words the same number of letters or different? All caps or upper and lower case? What sort of motion? On first thought it sounds to me like a bit of handwork, but you might be able to use AE’s text animation capabilities, depending on what you really want to do.

You could as well type up the two words, mask each letter out through a shape layer, delete the original text (or unhide it) and keyframe the mask path on each letter so that it changes into the word.

To get an awesome change effect, you could try https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/shatterize/ and just add the other text layer on reverse so the first words shatter into the second word as it appears.

Another thing you should try, with a 3d text layer, you make it rotate sideways forming the other word. It really depends on what it is for.
