Discover new ways to combine text and video in After Effects and create more visually stunning scenes. This course, the second volume of Eran Stern’s Integrating Type into Video series, features four unique type treatments that integrate text directly with the action on screen. Watch and learn how to explode text, create liquid text, map text to moving objects, and animate type in Z space.

Along the way, Eran demos a handful of advanced techniques, from tracking, rotoscoping, and particles to distortion and camera effects. After watching this course, you’ll be able to create impressive promos, trailers, and openers that will stand out from the rest.

Topics include:
Dandelion type: exploding text into dozens of seeds
Time remapping
Tracking text
Rotoscoping with Roto Brush
Floating type: creating a liquid text simulation
Designing with shape layers
Creating water effects with caustics
Perspective type: attaching type to moving guitar neck
Planner tracking with mocha AE
Pasting tracing data
Matching focus
Hot spot type: adding motion graphics to a runner’s steps
Camera tracking
Adding titles
Creating a pulse effect
