  Text Effect Expression

  Posted by Chris Holland on January 3, 2012 at 8:52 pm

  HI,

  So I did a Text Effect where a word flies in from behind the camera letter by letter then each letter has an inertial bounce effect separately added to it’s scale so that each letter bounces a little bit apart from the word as a whole. I wondered if there was an expression that could be used to get this effect rather than having to make a separate animator for each letter. One that would make it easy to save the preset and apply it to longer words and allow for an adjustment to the timing of the fly in.

  As it is if I saved the preset it would have to be to a 5 letter word and the fly in would have to be :15 frames or the whole timing gets off.

  I am not great with expressions except for simple things and this is way out of my range of ability if it is even possible.

  Thanks.
