Title/Text Animation Query

Post by barrynz »

I'd like to use the txt animation effect like that used in MSP 8 Smart Compositor Digital template #4...D102-B.
It is also on the MSP demo video.
A sort of flyin-expand combination. Is it possible to combine 2 animations...???
None of the animation presets seem to be editable to the extent of creating the effect.
It's a very 'Flash' style of effect.......perhaps that's how to create it...then import it....
As some of the existing title animation presets are very close to the effect, I'm hoping it is creatable from within MSP.
Thanks in anticipation...

To see how that particular effect was constructed insert the smart composition to the timeline.
Double click it and it will expand into a second timeline.
Some smart compositions also use multiple timelines and so double clicking each track again sometimes opens it up even further.

I was able to reproduce something similar.

1. Create your title
2. Apply animation, using the appropriate Fly animation, if necessary edited.
3. Drop it in the timeline
4. Apply 2D-Basic Moving Path with Keep Aspect Ratio to get the small zoom effect, starting at max, adding a keyframe at about 3/4 at same as first one and ending at 1:1
5. Apply Blur video filter at level 5 from start to a new keyframe at the same position as the one in 4., dropping to level 1 at the end.

The possibilities are endless by using this kind of mixed techniques, so you can play around to get what you want.
