    It could have been made in a 3D app, but it looks very similar to a technique used by Andrew Kramer in this tutorial, Ancient Titles

    If your video is going to the web, like Youtube or Vimeo, you could probably get away with 1280×720 that’s a smaller HD sized video.

    You might want to look at the use of shape layers to morph into the letters.

    If you mean at 1:20(please provide a time code next time), it’s done by using a single mask to write the first words and enabling a mask path. If it was me, the next thing I would do is create another mask and write out my next word, set a keyframe, then copy that keyframe to my first mask. Then just apply Generate Stroke for the writing.

    If you have a wacom, you could even use motion sketch to create your words, copy the position keyframes then paste them into the mask properties on a new layer. I tried that with the word capture in this very rush and hurried example. But it should illustrate the technique: 7970_wordtransform.aep.zip

  • That happens when video is scaled down to odd sizes during playback. I watched it in HD, fullscreen and it looked sharp. IMO, you delivered a high quality video that when played back full screen looks great, anything after that is the playback medium and really beyond your control.

    I would start by placing the image on the screen, then using a transfer mode(overlay, screen, soft light) and start from there. If that’s not enough, you might want to duplicate your layer, mask out a portion and feather it and play with with another transfer mode to make a hot spot.

    Well they are going for a film burn or film damage effect, if you do a search here you will find a lot threads on how to create the look from scratch…or where to get stock footage and how to apply it. Mostly it’s a quick dissolve with whatever transfer mode looks best to you.

  • Without addressing how you are going to change the text out and enter new text, the fade in and out is relatively simple. Create a solid and place it over your text and add a radial wipe to the solid. Adjust the transition completion to 90%(adjust to taste) and adjust the start angle to be where you want your text to appear and disappear. Adjust the feather so text will gently fade up and down. Finally the track matte of the text layer to alpha matte.
