After Effects Motion Graphics

About This Resource

Kinetic typography brings dialogue and title statements to life through rhythm, scale, tracking, and directional motion. This guide breaks down the core After Effects text animators—Position, Scale, Tracking, Opacity, and Range Selectors—with easing formulas for commercial title design.

What's Included

  • Core text animator setup guide for character-by-character and word-by-word reveals
  • Range Selector start/end keyframe easing curves using the Advanced smoothing engine
  • Wiggle Selector techniques for energetic handheld-style text shake
  • Exporting animated titles as reusable Premiere Pro Essential Graphics (.mogrt) templates

How to Use

Create a text layer in After Effects, twirl open the Text property, click "Animate > Position", set the Y-offset, and adjust the Range Selector Start parameter from 0% to 100%. In Advanced settings, set "Based On: Words" for punchy word-by-word reveals.
