Hello!

I am new to Adobe Premiere and I am looking to produce a specific text effect and I am not sure how to do so. I could not find an online example, but here is a description that I hope will suffice:

On the screen there will be a short piece of text (probably just 1-3 words). The audio will be of a person reading the word(s). I want the text of the word(s) on the screen to be animated in sync with the audio. I want the animation to be that of the letters growing in size a bit as each is being pronounced. So if the word is PICKLE, as the P in the word pickle is pronounced I want the P in the text to grow a bit. Then as the I is pronounced, I want the P to go back to normal size and the I to grow a bit in size...and so on. So assuming it takes the narrator about 1 second to pronounce the word pickle, the letters will consecutively grow and then return to normal size from left to right from the first letter to the last of the printed text PICKLE on the screen.

Your expert assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

After Effects for this.

You will even find an animation Effect that does this exact thing.

Thanks shooternz, I got it.:

IN AE: Type text,

Add From Effects panel add: Animation Presets/Text/Tracking/Magnify

Set Tracking amount to 0 (Zero)

Set Scale to the desired size of the expansion.

OK, learned that and how to create an Animated Gif.

Cheers.

BTW: Joe, joeg23308597, as far as I know, that avatar is something the forum set, I don't know why it's chosen a female?

Easy enough to change your avatar ... click on the image of your current avatar/something on the navigation bar at the top of any forum page ... as shown below:

Then select "Edit Communities Profile", and there's the page where you set all sorts of things.

OK, so here is what I came up with, but it's not clean like Warren Heaton's above. This one moves the letters to the right. From this thread I seached and found the Magnify preset. How can it get it to not move the letters to the right? Below is my AE screen.

Thank you for the screenshot...sorry to say "I value all of you guys' expertise"...I just saw your avatar is female. Thank you also for your contributions.

If your primary app is Premiere Pro you might just get a titling plug-in to do this. (I use NewBlue, but there are many) You might even be able to do it in Pr, I don't recall if there is a way to set anchor points in Pr, but that is a very basic animation.

That is a good idea. Yes, I really do not need to get into AE for anything else, so maybe a titling plug-in would be a better idea. My only problem is I don't want to purchase an expensive plugin until I know it would do what I need it to do...which is the basic effect in the animated text in the above post.

Thanks!
