  • Text Animators; add a second animation to a character?

    Posted by Jimmy Runsteen on October 6, 2014 at 2:50 pm

    Hi.

    I did a simple animation using text animators with the first character in a word falling from the top of the screen to the middle and then stop. Then the second character falls down and so on. Very basic stuff.
    Is it possible to add a second animation to the character using text animators? After the character had finished its animation and stopped in the middle of the screen i want to add a scale animation to create a sort of bouncing effect.
    The same effect should be applied to all the characters.
    Is this possible using only text animators?

    If i am not getting it wrong, it is possible. Just add a Scale animator by using the “Add” menu. Create your animation the same way and adjust the timing of the keyframes so that the Scale animation starts and end after the Position animation.

    I’m going to shamelessly plug my product, TypeGEMs, which will allow you to animate text easily in AE.

    Here’s the intro video – https://vimeo.com/104091681

    Here are the presets (more will be added in a couple of weeks) that ship with TypeGEMs – https://vimeo.com/102112250

    And if you want to work with AE’s ray-tracing engine to create 3D Text animations, there’s TypeGEMsRT – https://vimeo.com/104906447

    Cheers
