[@leprojects7196]

Thank you for this amazing fast video. How do you make the text "wiggle" at the end?

[@MikeMurphyCo]

I used Turbulent Displace to create a ‘line boil effect’ and also added Roughen Edges.

There is color panel on left side of screen but I have only info,Audio,Preview,Libraries,Character,Paragraph,Tracker,ContentAware fill,align but no such thing as COLORS. How can I get this color panel

[@MikeMurphyCo]

There is not a 'Color' panel in After Effects, but I think what you are referring to in the tutorial is my 'Libraries' panel. I save my brand colors in an Adobe CC Library for easy access as the Libraries work in most Adobe CC applications.
You do not need the Library Panel for this tutorial and can change colors using the color picker or eyedropper tool. 👍
