In the second in a series of THREE videos looking at different ways of animating fonts in After Effects, I'll show you what I think is a medium difficulty method. We'll look at a couple of ways to animate sans serif fonts, first by creating shapes from text and animating the path shapes, then by using the mask tool to animate on trickier characters. We'll then use time remapping to refine our timing. Finally we'll make a thin stroke version of our animation using simple choker and alpha matting our precomps.
