In this class on Adobe After Effects expressions, you will learn how to create shapes that correspond to the size of text. This technique allows for the animated revealing of dynamic text strings, giving you the ability to change the size and font of the text while the animation automatically updates. By using expressions, you can match the size and text of a mask, creating responsive essential graphics templates. Additionally, I will demonstrate a method to add animated easing to an expression by using a placeholder object.
The process will involve several steps, including setting up a classic text reveal, calculating the text size and mask scale, creating a placeholder animation, and linking everything together. If you're new to expressions, I recommend watching my class "Introducing After Effects Expressions" for a quick introduction.
Furthermore, I will continue publishing classes that build on these skills, so be sure to follow me for more advanced techniques. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the assets and folders in After Effects, Sonja's class on efficiency in After Effects may be helpful to you.
Overall, this class will equip you with the knowledge and tools to design course templates, create graphic templates with various fonts, and utilize text reveal animations in your projects. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced designer, mastering these techniques will enhance your ability to create visually appealing and dynamic content.
