I have a memoir piece about growing up with tourettes. That's around 3,000 words. I want to make the text appear as if it has tourette's, twitching, etc. Would a project be able to handle that amount of characters or should I split it up into multiple separate animations? Also, any recommendations for exporting for the web? Ultimately, I want the memoir piece to be a single web page. Thanks for any reply!
I think that's amazing, I used to animate a font's path to convert it from light to black. That's a great plug-in. Next time, do some Bruce Springsteen typo animation :)
I yearn for a future where these features are natively inside AE. VariFont is a good first step but is clunky to work with on long projects with lots of different slides... but it otherwise works well.
I've got the demo but it seems unable to detect the variable font I've got from Adobe Fonts. Any advice? I'm trying to animate the ''Obviously Variable'' font.
You're correct, for some reason it doesn't work with Adobe Variable Fonts. Try to open a support ticket with the developer and ask if there's any update in the horizon.
Hi, this is Dani, VariFont Product Manager. Unfortunately, as of Sep 2023, VariFont only reads fonts that installed on your file systems. This is a limitation due to the Adobe SDK.
It should, but the real good news is that Adobe is building native variable font support for the next version of After Effects. You can download the beta version and play with the script from this page adobe.ly/44B6YzQ
Thank you for the hint to the Variety script.
The name of the video should be : "Using VARIFONT in After Effects"
I stand correct, when it was launched it was the only way to do it

best to split it to few segments. Export using the built in 5Mbps preset which includes with Ae. Good luck!

Copy that Brian, I hope someone in Seattle is listening :-)
I don´t know if you can help me, but varifont doesn´t seem to find the variable fonts installed in my computer.
Upgrade to 24.1 and do it with the the new adobe script - all the details are here: ruclips.net/video/S77SAI5qyMI/видео.html

hi there seems to be a red grid appearing when I use Vari Font effect ...not the grid in my afx guides?
You're probably using the demo version, You'll need to register (buy it) to remove this grid.
Nice video! Does Variety work with Adobe fonts?

No, this does not work with any font manager. You need fonts installed locally. Learned this the hard way lol
Thanks for the Variety shout-out 🙏
My pleasure!
I am VariFont Product Manager, and wanted to thank you @sternFX for the very useful tutorial
You're very welcome!
