Essential Text Animations for After Effects

If you’re looking to level up your titles, intros or kinetic typography in Adobe After Effects, this free template pack is for you. Inside you’ll find 20 distinctive text animations built from the most popular styles seen in countless “text animation” tutorials. These presets work off a single text layer, so you won’t need to individually mask or keyframe each character. Just type your text and your animation is ready to go.

New to motion design? Learn what After Effects templates are and how they can speed up your workflow.

From elegant reveal builds to flickering glitch lights and rolling slot-machine style flips, each animation offers a unique look—saving you hours of work and simplifying complex rigs. Whether you’re making YouTube intros, motion graphics for clients or social promos, this pack gives you a quick, flexible way to animate text like a pro.

What you’ll get:

20 editable After Effects text animation comps
No per-character masking required – apply to one text layer
A wide range of styles: elegant reveals, light flickers, rolling/slot-machine flips, kinetic moves
Free download – perfect, handy template for your next motion-graphics project

Limitations:

As a free project it’s not quite as robust as our premium templates. The effects might break when using multiple lines of text, and trying to copy/paste the layers into other comps might mess up some of the time-based expressions.

In general it’s best to edit the text within its comp, on a single line, and place the entire comp onto your scene. It’s easy enough to just duplicate the comps in the Project panel, if you want to use a style more than once.

Software Requirements
