Introduction
Hello and welcome to this course on how to bring your text live in Aftereffects. My name is Oliver and I've been doing motion design for the past eight years and all that time. I've always been fascinated by text animation and explored a load of different styles. Text animation could be a great asset for logo animations, titan sequences or even graphic elements such as lower thirds. I see a lot of people here in fiber selling those exact services and therefore it's always great to lock down the techniques and principles. You can impress the largest amount of potential buyers in this course.

ng them, you see truly understanding these concepts. Really helps transferring all of the techniques and principles into all of your work. And not just text animation.

But you'll also walk away with a much better understanding of animation and every single little decision that lies behind. So let's jump right into it. Mhm
