Introduction

This is the final result we'll create: a trailer-style title that emerges from the mist, with letters stretching slowly and glowing golden over a forest scene at sunset. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Movie titles are usually simple but impactful, with capital letters, wide spacing, and very slow motion. In this final episode of the text module, we'll create a cinematic title using text animator and glow effects.

Step 1: Title Text

Create a composition from forest sunset footage. Type 'hutan sunyi' with the Georgia font, size 140, golden cream color, centered, and tracking 100. Capital letters with serifs give a classic feel similar to movie posters.

Step 2: Animator Tracking

Click Animate, then select Tracking. Set the Tracking Amount animator to 0 at second 0, then 200 at second 6. Since the range selector covers all letters, the entire title stretches slowly over 6 seconds, a nearly imperceptible yet majestic motion.

Step 3: Emerging from Blur

Add a second animator with the Blur and Opacity properties. Set Blur to 40 and Opacity to 0, then animate the Offset Range Selector from -100 at second 0 to 100 at second 2, with a shape ramp up. The letters sharpen and appear one by one from the mist.

Step 4: Golden Glow

Apply a glow effect to the text. Set Glow Threshold to 60%, Glow Radius to 40, and Glow Intensity to 1.2. The bright letters glow softly, like being illuminated by the golden sunset.

Step 5: Lines and Subtitle

Create a thin cream line below the title using the Rectangle Tool, then add a small text 'a story from the mountains' below it with tracking 300. Animate the Opacity of the subtitle from 0 at second 2.5 to 100 at second 3.5. Play the preview from the beginning.

Step 6: Preview

The title emerges from the mist, stretches slowly, glows, and then the subtitle follows. Slow and calm motion is the key to a cinematic feel. Done.

Done!

We've created a capital title with wide spacing, a tracking animator that stretches slowly, a blur and opacity animator with a ramp up, golden glow, decorative line, and a fading subtitle. The text module is complete. In the next module, we'll learn about masks and track mattes.
