Hello! I'm trying to replicate the text animation from this video, does anyone have some insight on how to do it? It doesn't look like it's made with path animation, looks like some kind of mask fading in and out. Any tutorials, tips or ideias on how to do it?

A quick and easy way to get that kind of fade in and out is to apply Gaussian Blur to a copy of the text layer, turn off Repeat Edge Pixels, then add Curves set to Alpha and create a straight line in the middle of the graph. Animate Gaussian blur from zero to a high enough value to get all of the text to disappear on the top copy, then set that copy as an Alpha track matte for the original layer.

There are about a dozen ways to create this kind of wipe. This is just one of them.
