Activity Forums Adobe After Effects How to create this EXACT text effect

    Not sure it’s an effect so much as just clever use of many layers. 3D text faked by duping the text layer back in z-space, parented to the top text layer, and set on a wiggle. When the text seems to skew out it’s because one or more of those layers are being animated outward and stretched at lowered opacity. Then there are a bunch of textures wiggling around. That’s what I can tell, but I’m probably missing something.

    I agree. I would guess Twitch by Video Copilot was used on multiple layers.

    I think Clay’s advice is right on.

    There are a couple ways to do the 3D type in After Effects — multiple layers separated slightly in Z-space (as Clay suggested) in Classic 3D, extruded type with AE CS6’s new ray-tracing renderer, or extruded type with a third-party plugin like Mettle ShapeShifter AE, VCP Element, or Zaxwerks Invigorator.

    As for the glitchy-looking effects, those can be added by manually keyframe scale and position or distortion effects, or you can use a third-party effect like VCP Twitch or DigiEffects Damage.

    Since you haven’t really even asked a question in your post, it’s tough to give a better answer than that.

    sorry it’s my fault that I didnt explain in detail. I dont want it to be 3D. I just want that shake/wiggle effect. Here is the same effect that I want but not 3D @0:00-0:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxzCVLnSN8I

    Keyframe the scale & position properties of a layer over 10 frames with multiple keyframes. Turn on motion blur for the layer and composition.

    Quick example project illustrating the technique: 4574_textblur.aep.zip
