    Hello everyone!

    I’ve always found great suggestions and tutorials in CreativeCOW, and I am really grateful to you guys.

    So, my question is: I’m trying to create a text transition effect like the one you can see in this video at second 10, when the “Revolution” text disappears.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxt_xZJcAEg&t=10s

    It’s almost like it becomes bigger and wider, but I can’t really understand what is going on since it’s so fast.

    Anyone got any idea how this was done in AE?

    Thanks a lot!

    Maria

    If you are talking about the Revolution text, just as it disappears, not the floating letter that joins just before, it looks deceptively simple. I am a newbie but looks like the word zooms off the screen to the left, in a frame or two, with motion blur. It might be resized larger as well to make visibility better.

    This is easy to set up. Just get to the exit point, set a keyframe, and then move your text offscreen or where-ever over the course of a frame or twon and re keyframe it. Turn on motion blur and then adjust the keyframes to get the look you like.

    Hello Chip!

    Yes, that was the part that I was talking about, the part where it goes away.

    I’ll try your suggestions and see how it works, thanks a lot! (I really don’t know why I didn’t think about the motion blur, doh…)

    Cheers,

    Maria
