Question
Animating Individual Characters in AE
I've been looking around YouTube and Google and can't find any tutorials or forums discussing this question specifically - I want to have letters of a word move towards the screen (so typically just changing the Z position), but I want the letters to all move apart from each other at an equal rate. I know there are better examples out there, but here are two attached below - the first is a little more obvious in the chorus when he says, "If I'm not afraid why" at 1:20ish, and the second example is in the second verse, specifically at 1:31 when she says "Every night."
I'm sure there's a term for this style of animation, I'm just having trouble finding tutorials online anywhere. Can anyone explain an easy way of achieving this?
