Here we are with another tutorial on text animation. In this tutorial, I'll teach the text reveal animation technique which is a really simple and clean animation style. Text animation is the bread and butter of motion designers. Mastering text animation is one of the fundamental skills of a motion graphics artist. In this lesson, we go over how to use track mattes and shape layers to create simple, clean and professional-looking text animation. The best part is that this technique is super simple to do and only takes less than a minute to set up and its super useful technique that I use on almost every project that deals with text animation.

Self-resizing boxes are a time saver by eliminating the needs for extra keyframing.

You can copy this Expression: s=thisComp.layer("Name"); x=s.sourceRectAtTime(time-s.inPoint,true).width; y=s.sourceRectAtTime(time-s.inPoint,true).height; [x,y] Replace "Text" with the name of your text layer and boom.
