    That’s pretty vague, and w/o being able to see your timeline one can only guess, but have you simply enabled the Motion Blur switch for both the comp & animated layers?

    Here is my example

    As you can see the text is too thin to be read at the edges in my example.
    But in ad video the text is clearer at the edges.

    Think you can do that with the Fast Box Blur set to horizontal only, and then compositing multiple layers of it on top of it self. Here’s a sample in CC 2018

    Thank you John, it looks very good.
    Can u please tell me what is the different between “source text” and “source text 2” compositions.
    And how can made this keyframe types on color?

    There is no difference from Source Text and Source Text 2. I just duplicated the layer and AE added the 2, if you click the Source Name at the top and change it to “layer Name” you will see they both come from the same asset.

    The top layer, is just for the color change. It has a fill effect with 2 hold keyframes(select both keyframes and press Cntl+alt+H) so that it changes from white to red when the blur is done animating.

    Layer 2 to 5 have the box blur applied to them. Rather than having keyframes on each layer, on layers 3-5 alt+click on Blur Radius then used the pick whip to layer 2 Blur Radius. Then you can just adjust the blur on layer 2 and it layers 3-5 follow.

    Hope that helps
