“type on” effect

[Aanarav Sareen]

[nick detomaso] “Can it be done with After Effects?”

Yes. It’s very easy to do so in After Effects.

[nick detomaso] “Anyone know a way to do the “type on” effect without a plug-in? I”

Yes. Keyframe the crop effect. Let me know if you need a demonstration on how to accomplish this.

When you keyframe the crop effect, use Hold keyframes for each letter instead of smoothly changing the value of the crop.

I did this example so long ago in Premiere 6.x that the Clip effect was what I had to use. Now you would use Crop. BAck then cropping always zoomed. Now it is an option.

You can do this easily in After Effects by applying the “Path Text” Effect to a solid layer, and then animating the “Visible Characters” value under the “Advanced” options. You’ll probably want to switch the default path from Beizer to Line.

Thanks to all- I’ll try each method.
