Using text from within After Effects.


Anchor Point is not in the centre of the text but it can be altered through 'Transform > Anchor Point' or through the 'Pan Behind' tool as shown below.


Additional properties are available with a text layer. Path Options and More Options.


Source Text allows you to introduce Key Frames to manipulate the text, EG Add more to the sentence or have the type change colour.


Adding to the sentence - 


Changing colour - 


Animate, found next to Source Text has further options:



Animating the text through 'Position' function on the Animate drop down menu.

Key Steps to remember:

- Add Animator change
- Change property value
- Use Range Selector to animate the change
* Using either Start and/or End Keys are important when determining how you want the change to occur.

This is getting confusing now!
