Light Burst creates text
From a 20 pixel circle point there is a thermo nuke light burst and also expanding out is 11 lines of text that are revealed as the holocost subsides. This needs to look as if the text exploded out with the bang of brilliance.
Boy, if I could get some tasty techniques for this one it would be much appreciated.thanks

Would using a mask reveal not work? Or are you wanting all your text to be bunched in a circle and then bounce out?
BTW,don’t forget Creative COW stands for Creative Communities Of the World. When you posted it was 6:44 am for me (in England), it’s almost 8:30 now.

Sorry; I forgot to include the other options for your text expanding, rather that just being a mask reveal.
You could combine a scaling up to 100% and a mask reveal.
You could use shatter and reverse it. But tweak with the settings so instead of exploding out it just breaks up and falls away. That way, when it’s reversed, it’ll be falling up, out, and into place.
You could use line text for each line and have the line they’re following all twisted up into your circle and then keyframed to straighted out.
Don’t forget subtle things like changing the colour and opacity a bit.
Oh, I almost forgot; there must be a way to do sommit like what you want just using the new text animating functions within AE 6.5. (I haven’t had a chance to learn that yet, but as soon as I get some free time I plan to. I’m guessing it’ll save me a lot of time in the end.)
