Specific Text Animation Question
Hey everyone. I’ve been coming to these boards for about six months, but I just now finally decided to join in. So here goes my first question.
I’ve been playing around with the new way to animate text starting with AE 6.0, and there’s a specific animation that I want to achieve that I just can’t seem to get. If you watch this video (https://www.creativecow.net/articles/shisko_alan/textacy/renders/radical.mov) then it’ll show what I’m trying to do. In the video the word “Design” kind of pops in left to right by having the letters start from nothing to getting big to back down to medium size. Does anyone know how to do that using the text animation things they’ve added to 6.0 and above? I figure that you have to add a second range selector to get it to work, but I can’t really figure out how. I know that under the advanced menu you can change the different modes from add, subtract, intersect, etc., but I can’t grasp how using the different modes effects other range selectors you may have added.
Sorry for the long first post…I’ll keep ’em shorter from here on out. Thanks everyone.
