In this After Effects Tutorial, I'll show you how to create this fun and wobbly text animation.

Content:
0:00 Intro
0:15 Setting up the first letter
1:51 Animating the scale of the letter
2:50 Adding the "Warp" effect
3:43 Adding the "CC Bend It" effect
4:52 Setting up the text animation
5:46 Outro
We start with setting up the first letter, by adding some layer styles.
Then we animate the scale of the letter, then add the "Warp" and "CC Bend It" effect to make the movements more fun.
Next we duplicate this composition in the project window and replace the letter.
We repeat that until we have all the letters we need to setup the whole title animation in the main comp. We position the letters along the stroke and adjust the scale und rotation of each letter a little bit. Finally we go into each letter comp and adjust the settings to make them behave more uniquely.
► Software: Adobe After Effects 17.5

One of the best tutorials I've seen, I've been working with After Effects for 12 years.

[@ManueldoesMotion]

Wow thanks very much! I really appreciate it!
I started using AE around 15 years ago and it is still my favourite animation software...

[@andresdavidmatizgrisales2664]

Thanks Manuel for teaching me these tips and designs for improve my knowledge in the motion design, It was very useful for a proyect.

Manuel, Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. Awesome, creative and to-the-point!!

[@ManueldoesMotion]

So happy you liked it!

[@ReallyLuckyDog]

Thank you very much, Manuel, this is a lot of fun. I'll use this for my New Year's post. One change I made was to make the starting scale 50.0,0%. This will negate the need for the stroke that hides the starting text. Happy Holidays and happy new year!👍🍾🥂🎉

[@ManueldoesMotion]

You're very welcome! That's awesome! Happy holidays and a happy new year to you too!😊✌🏻✨

[@dezeraybell558]

Hi , first off thank you for your awesome video. I am having a bit of a issue and wondering if you could help me out .
#1. I am having a hard time selecting multiple compositions in the project window.
#2. I am using this text in a video but the letters are not appearing . I see the outline of the effect but no solid letters.what would be the solution to these issued???

[@ManueldoesMotion]

You’re very welcome! Glad u like it! If you hold “shift” while selecting the comps, it should work.
And maybe you switched fill and outline in the title tool?

[@hanyyylet6]

[@andreseduardocolonna4185]

Hello, this does not work for me, when I add the warp it’s like that anchor point is super off, but the ancho point of the layer is at the bottom like you said not sure what I am doing wrong

[@ManueldoesMotion]

Hi! It's probably the CC Bend it effect. Did you set the start and end point?

[@artled]

👌

[@ManueldoesMotion]

Thx very much!

[@bigx6670]

How do I keep that wobbling animation even after it popped up?

[@ManueldoesMotion]

You keep the letters moving by slightly animating the two bend properties.

[@Tinito1984]

Im wondering if i can create the same effect instead of using text, just use a logo

[@ManueldoesMotion]

You should definitely try!

[@AmritSingh-sc7fr]

Sir, can you make an animation that the text hit to another text throw it further?

[@ManueldoesMotion]

Hi! That's a great idea! I'll add it to my list.

Any round font works well.

Can I make this in Adobe premiere Pro

[@ManueldoesMotion]

I don't think so... It would be quite difficult. Why not making it in After Effects?

Which software you use..?

Is this only work on text?

Yes! It's just a text layer.

Gorgeous video but you're too quick to explain ... but it's not your fault, it's my English's fault...
