    Me: So it was fractal noise and turbulent displace again?
    Ben: Always have been.

    This is class! With the issue with the words of different length, when you are animating the opacity between words, you could also animate the tracking of the letters on both words, making the short word subtly space wider and have the long word really bunched up initially and then easing into its normal length. Such a wicked effect though Ben, keep up the wizardry!

    I hope you'll be making a fully beginner-friendly course to Motion Design in the future, I've checked your course and it looks amazing but it felt like it was advanced for me. I think my level is a bit intermediate with AE but I really want to learn motion design as a career and I want to start from the absolute basics. Thank you so much for the fantastic content!

      Try Video Co-pilots Basic Training. It's free and although it's not motion design oriented it will familiarise yourself with After Effects in general. Also The course Ben is running seems like they would help you but I'm not sure.

    So about the problem with words that are not of similar length i found a solution! i just unlink the scale of the word getting morphed so you can scale on one axis and then animate the scale with the same keyframes you did with the blur by expanding the shorter words scale horizontally so it matches the next words and vice versa for the longer words. It worked for me! maybe you will have to play with the opacity a bit but for me it was perfect.

    i might be overthinking it, but how does the opacity changes on the text layers not affect the adjustment layer levels? Wouldn't the adjustment layers black be opaque as well during the morphing because the text layers its altering are changing opacities? Maybe i just need to learn more about how adjustment layers work! Love your videos Ben :) Always learning from you!
