One way to animate text to appear in After Effects is to create a flicker-on effect. With your text layer selected, choose the animate button by your text property and select Opacity. Set a keyframe for 0% where you want your animation to begin, and a keyframe for 100% where you want the animation to end. Then, twirl down Range Selector 1 and set keyframes for the Start value. 0% at the beginning and 100% at the end. Under Advanced, turn Randomize Order on. Then, set a keyframe for Random Seed at the beginning of your animation. Choose a different value at the end of the animation. Now, you’ll have a flicker-style effect that makes your text visible. #andyfordvideo #aftereffects #adobe
