    My guess would be that it’s pretty complex shape animations done using a text layer which was converted to a shape, and then the colors inside the text outline are done using other shapes, with the text shape as a mask. It may also be done with expressions. Looks pretty complicated, and I don’t see any tutorials out there that lay the process out. You may try searching some more, though…

    I believe that is mostly done using Trim Paths with the text converted to shapes. Two copies of text are used, one red, one white and the Trim Paths are animated differently so that the red draws on slightly earlier. At least you can get very close to that result.
