  • How can you achieve this text effect?

    I’ve been trying to achieve this text effect, found in this video at 0:18 seconds:

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=m4K6f5ASlw0

    I’ve been attempting to use track motion on two separate tracks (one with the missing letter, and one with the rest of the word), but it always comes out wrong, as the missing letter seems to zoom out from the left hand corner and not from the center.

    I’d be really grateful for any help! 🙂 Thank you so much.

    Using track motion, you should be able to control all the size and placement aspects.

    I feel your pain.
    ..
    try this:

    put a mediagenerator text in one track. Create event motion to do the zoom-out. Make sure that in Keyframe interpolation the smoothness is set to 0.
    Then in the same menu, mask out one of the characters in the event motion menu (draw a line around it and choose Mask/Path/negative).

    make a new track above that, copy the text event you just created to the new track (choose: create a copy of the source media). Change the mask in event motion to Mask/path/positive. You now have the whole text zooming out. The large part is in the underlying track, and the odd character in the upper track.

    Go to the event in the upper track, select the first motion keyframe and make this character bigger.

    Works great. Don’t forget to give both events some gaussian blur (mainly horizontal and keyframed so that the text becomes readable after about 10 frames.

    It’s easy to do in vegas, looks the same as in the clip.
    Don’t forget to overcharge.
