Kinetic typography – the technical name for “moving text” is an animation technique mixing motion and text to express ideas using video animation. Choosing the right text / font / animation presented over time is a powerful way to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion.
Let’s practice a simple one together – Since the new Bond film is coming out, I’ll use a classic James Bond line as our sample.

We’ll use some shortcut keys like:

- [ left bracket key to push audio to playhead
- { and } to trim clips in the layers panel
