  • Taking the first letter of each word and bring them together

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to create a text animation where it first starts out with a phrase e.g. “This Is A Test Phrase” and take the first letter of each word to bring them together e.g. “TIATP”. The rest of the letters will simply disappear/squished out of the way. I’ve tried searching on the web, I’m afraid I’m not using the right keywords? I feel like there must be a way to do this.

    Please shed some light on this – thanks!

    Agreed. There’s a good script out there for breaking up text that I’ve used on several lyric videos called “DecomposeText” that might simplify this for you. It’s available for “Name your own price” here: https://aescripts.com/decomposetext/
