Introduction
This is the result we'll create: 3 lines of text above the waterfall footage, each appearing with a different style, all from After Effects' built-in presets. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. After Effects includes hundreds of ready-to-use text animation presets in the Effects & Presets panel. In this episode, we'll use 3 of the most popular ones and learn how to adjust their speed. Create a composition from the waterfall footage.
Step 1: Three lines of text
Create 3 separate text layers. Welcome above, the waterfall is lying in the middle with a large size, and glacier, Montana below. We'll apply different animations to each text.
Step 2: Typewriter
Move the time indicator to 0 seconds and select the top text. In the Search panel of Effects & Presets, type 'typewriter'. The typewriter preset appears in the Animation Presets, Text folder. Double-click to apply it. The letters appear one by one, as if typed on a typewriter.
Step 3: Fade Up Characters
Move to 1 second, select the middle text, then search for Fade Up. Double-click Fade Up Characters. Presets always start from the time indicator position, so the middle text starts appearing after the top text. The letters fade in one after another.
Step 4: Blur By Word
Move to 2 seconds, select the bottom text, then apply Blur by Word. Each word appears from a blurred state to a sharp state. All three lines now have different but harmonious entrance styles.
Step 5: Adjusting the preset speed
Presets are essentially text animators with keyframes. Select the top text and press U to view the keyframe start on the range selector. Drag the second keyframe closer to make the typewriter animation run faster. Presets animations can be edited as freely as custom animations. Play the preview from the beginning.
Step 6: Preview and save preset
If you find a favorite animation, select its properties and then open the animation. Save the animation preset to save it as your own preset that can be used in other projects.
Done!
Done. We have searched for presets in Effect and Presets. Applying Typewriter, Fade Up Characters, and Blare by Word. Understanding that presets start from the time indicator, adjusting speed with U, and how to save your own preset. In the next episode, we create text following a path.
