Smooth Text Animation in After Effects Motion Graphics Basics Tutorial
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 5. 09. 2024
- I hope you're ready for another dope motion graphics tutorial! This week we're going over a super smooth, useful, and popular text animation effect in After Effects! That's right, I'm talking about the text write-on effect! This animation technique uses masks to mimics the natural motion of handwriting words which can come in handy when animating reveals for logos, titles, and various motion graphic elements. As a motion designer, I've been asked countless times to do the text write-on effect, so I figured this would be a perfect skill to introduce to After Effects beginners. Not only that, but over the years I've picked up ways to save a whole bunch of time and effort, so even the AE vets can stick around to learn a thing or two. When it comes to text in After Effects, I know it can be daunting since the possibilities are endless. Don't worry because we'll go over everything from finding a font, making a new project, setting up your composition, using the pen tool, strokes, light sweeps, and much more in this tutorial! I'll show you how to create text writing on effects without plugins, and show you my favorite elements pack for really taking it to the next level. Hope you all enjoy and as a challenge to all the learners, we want to see your animated quotes so be sure to tag us on Instagram @blackmixture so we can check it out!

I wasn't even looking for a Write On tutorial, but I'm glad I found this and I'm glad I found this CHANNEL! Instant subscribe. Very clear instructions, AND you ain't BORING. Jeez. A lot of tutorials are bland AF. So it's cool to see a pro just being themselves, but still putting out great tips/tricks/tutoirals! So THANK YOU SO MUCH. I been learning AE for a couple months and now I have yet another awesome learning resource.
Yooo thanks so much Jazper! You're too kind and definitely a huge inspiration to keep going! Reading your comment gave us the biggest smile đđđŸ
SAMEEEEE XD
Me too, this is my second video which i watched and i already subscribed!!
I dont even know when Ill use this but dude deserved the watch time
My thoughts exactly
'Just take your time, really enjoy each stroke...'
I cracked up at the same time as you lmao, such a good guide, cheers!
me too hahaha :)
Glad you enjoyed!
This is a great tutorial!!! I've seen other After Effects tutorials online where they just click through a bunch of steps quickly without explaining what they are doing and for a novice who is not familiar with AE it is frustrating as sometimes I get lost when they open a window or tool without explaining how they got there. You did an excellent job of explaining each step you took and guiding us through the process. Outstanding work! Thank you for sharing!
Yoooo Jeremiah! Thanks a bunch man! I really appreciate the kind words and super thoughtful comment. You got me smiling from ear to ear reading your comment. Hope to make more tutorials that are easy to follow and helpful đ
The way you clearly explain every aspect of the composition and go over every detail is something I have absolutely never seen with an instructor, especially on CZcams. The universality of your tutorials, which spans from pros to even people who have no experience whatsoever in After Effects, is what makes you an effective teacher. So many props to you! Keep it up!
WOW, I'm speechless! Thanks so much, Elyk! You made smiles jump right out of our faces. Best comment ever. We appreciate you. Much love!
I'm just starting to learn AE and I've been looking for a tutorial to do this exact effect for a client. This was super easy to understand and entertaining! THANK YOU!!!
You're very welcome! GET THAT đ°đ°đ°
i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.
Tutorials that are clean, precise, and straight to the point are always THE BEST. I will definitely use this effect soon on my channel. Yay!
Your tutorials are appreciated. You explain everytNice tutorialng so simply and show the fundantals of producing. Many people and myself thank
one of the best tutorials I've ever seen! thank you! As someone who is super new to after effects, but familiar with other adobe tools I found this REALLY helpful and exactly as specific as I needed it to be :)
Awww that means so much to hear! So glad you found it helpful đ€Thank you thank youâ€
the intro sequence at 0:44 is a total trip! inspiring!
aww so glad u found it inspiring!! tysm!!!
Knew I was in for a good tutorial after the "take a hit bit". I'm a cinematographer by trade who's been trying to use quarantine as a time to practice my editing skills. Been searching for good tutorials and channels, and this is one of the first that just feels so genuine! You come across as just a super chill and cool person who is also incredibly talented, well-spoken, and a great teacher! Instant subscribe, and planning on adding this effect to the start of my next reel!
Honestly couldn't finish my final project at uni without you đ
I've been waiting for this, I plan on trying this out tonight. Keep up the amazing work.
The most lovely thing is the zooming in at important parts. You rock â€â€â€â€
âTake a hitâ every time you drop that Iâm locked in. And forgetting to pack my bowl, but Iâm in! Haha
đšđšđš
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
I have been watching several After Effects tutorials but they all seemed to too fast and not well deep explained like the way you do it. Thanks a lot man am beginning to like and understand after effects. You are such a good tutor.
THIS TUTORIAL REALLY WORKS I AM FROM PHILIPPINES! THIS MAN DESERVES A SUBSCRIPTION!
perfect: simple, easy, effective, right to the point
This is also a great way to create a "paint across the screen" effect! I used Illustrator to create a painted swatch and then this method to determine how it is painted inside After Effects. You just have to be mindful the max Brush size is 200px when generating a Stroke, so your image/paint brush size matters when importing.
Thanks for the great tutorials!
Thanks for the tip!!! And no problem, happy to help!
BEST TUTOR EVER!! I am eleven years old and I'm always looking for cool text animations. Thanks a lot!! (btw I use a lot of animations of yours on my channel.)
Dude thats awesome to hear! Thanks so much!! đđđœ I definitely gotta check out your channel. To be learning this at eleven years old is mad impressive. Can't wait to see what you're going to create!
Love you bro!! I was stuck with the stupid inbuilt Write-on effect which was not smooth at all. Now the animation is looking way smoother
Much love to youâ€
As a noob with After Effects, you made this pretty simple to create. Thank you for your tutorial, great job.
YOU ARE FANTASTIC THIS LOOKS COOL AND TOOOO MUCH EASY
OKAY LOVE THE TUTORIAL AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE PLUG IN REFERENCE BECAUSE IM OBBBBSESSED

Dope, decided to learn AE just now #quarantine
I learnt a lot in 6 days
@@aarka9900 me 3
I learnt AI and PS the 1st 3 month now AE, jheezz
@@aarka9900
how about now?
I like how these instructions are super clear and easy to understand
Yay! So glad to hear that it was easy to understand đ hope it helped
I worked for 3 hrs and Ae crashed then I cried for 3 more hours and then start working again..... lol that was dope !!
its all about lovin the process lol
@@BlackMixture yea. me too love working with these softwares that if it is crashed while working, I don't feel sad but I like to start again with more energy and speed. that was for personal work. but if you are working on client's projects, then you need to be careful.
BRuhhh i swear to god i can sit here for hours watching your tutorial video than attending boring lectures in class. SICK ANIMATION BRUHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
awww thanks man!! we know how that feels, so glad that we can help!!!
tell me i'm not the only one who thinks his voice does not match his face
sammee omg
You're right bro!!!!!
he osund like he just passed puberty
before his face came up i thought it was some little white nerd
Like yes no offense but his voice
I'm like 9 months late to the party, but I'm that guy that's gonna hang on awkwardly to the end when you are just ready to call it a night. Thanks for being amazing!
I like that! Thanks Mike, you are awesome!!!
Can you make a tutorial for the fire in the beginning?
The first video I found of yours. What I love about your videos over many other CZcams channels that specialize in After Effects Tutorials and motions work is that you detail your work step by step, AND YOU EXPLAIN THE TOOLS YOU ARE USING AND HOW TO USE THEM. This is HUGE for me as a beginner. Already learned a bunch from one video of yours. Thanks for doing these, I know you make money from them, but you're helping us out also. 20 minutes.....WELL WORTH THE TIME. TYTY!
So so happy to help!!!! đ„°đ„°đ„°
"Really, enjoy each stroke" BRUHHH hahaha
I liked the video for how helpful it was, I subscribed when he said to enjoy each stroke
Ayeee welcome to the fammm!!!! Happy to have yaaa
i love this tutorial! thank you so much! only issue i am having is when it comes to placing the end key frames, they are not showing on my timeline at all. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?
thank you in advance
You are amazing and the Zelda soundtrack in the background is just too dope. Thank you.
Glad you like it! Thanks, Valentina!

You train so well! It's like you comprehend my tempo...
Thanks for the motivation. I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I might try it eventually.
