Introduction
This is the result we will create, a title that appears letter by letter, with each letter rising from the bottom while fading in, above the moving cloud footage in the canyon. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Text layers in After Effects have a special animation system called Text Animator. With it, we can animate each letter separately without breaking the text into multiple layers. Create a composition from the canyon cloud footage.
Step 1: Title Text
Type the text 'ngarai megah' with a thick, white font in the center of the screen. Open the text layer, there is a text group containing the source text and the Animata button on the right side.
Step 2: Position Animator
Click Animata then select Position. A new animator 1 appears containing range selector 1 and the position property. Fill the position animator with 0 and 160, making all letters move down by 160 pixels. This value is the relative shift from the original position of the letter.
Step 3: Add Opacity to the Animator
Click Add on the animator 1 line, select property, opacity. Fill the opacity to 0%. Now all letters move down and are not visible. This condition is the state of the letters before they appear.
Step 4: Range Selector
Open range selector 1. Start and end determine which letters are affected by the animator. Letters within the range will move down and become transparent, letters outside the range return to normal. We will shift this range using offset.
Step 5: Offset Animation
At frame 0, fill offset to 0%, all letters are hidden. At frame 2, fill offset to 100%, the range shifts out so all letters return to normal. Among them, the letters appear one by one from left to right.
Step 6: Smooth Ramp Up
Open advance in the range selector and change shape to ramp up. The transition for each letter is now gradual, not sudden. Press F9 on the keyframe offset, then rotate the preview, letters rise and fade in sequentially with smooth transitions.
Done!
Done. We have added an animator through the animator button, using the position and opacity properties inside it, understanding the range selector with start, end, and offset, animating the offset, and using the shape ramp up. In the next episode, we will use ready-to-use text animation presets. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for short films?
