11:00 After Effects – Animators

Text animators animate character position, rotation, and size-related properties relative to an anchor point.

Let’s play with some text effects using AE. Text in AE is vector.

Animating text with animators and selectors consists of three basic steps:

Add an animator to specify which properties to animate.
Use a selector to specify how much each character is affected by the animator.
Adjust the animator properties.

There are several properties for text that can be animated:
- Anchor Point of the text
- Postion, Scale, Rotation, Skew, Opacity
- Fill Color (RGB, Hue, Saturation)
- Stroke Color (RGB, Hue, Saturation)
- Tracking (space between characters)
- Line Anchor
- Line Spacing
- Character Offset
- Character Value
- Blur
Each animator group includes a default selector (which happens to be range). You can replace the default selector, add additional selectors to an animator group, and remove selectors from a group.
- Range
- Wiggly
- Expression
