Hey everybody and welcome back to another exciting and informative. episode of 7 Minute AE Tutorials, where you learn tips, tricks, and shortcuts in 7 minutes or less. No BS. Just AE.

This is the first tutorial of 2021, so welcome to a New Year of 7 Minute AE Tutorials. One of my resolutions is to deliver more 7 minute tutorials that are easy-to-follow, not too fast, and include topics that you can use on a regular basis. I made a 2020 Year In Review video, so if you haven’t checked out that, please do so when you get a chance. The overall message is thanking you all for being a part of this channel, and letting you know the changes that are coming in 2021.

This tutorial is the first of a three part series on Text Animators. In this episode, we’ll be creating a custom text animation that uses Scale Text Animators. If aren’t familiar with Text Animators or don’t have a solid grasp on them, this is the episode for you. Even if you are familiar with Text Animators, I encourage you to stay tuned because you may just learn something new. I always include shortcuts and tricks that you can incorporate into other animations.

This episode is sponsored by the good folks over at AE Juice. Check out their link in the description below to get amazing savings as well as AE assets that are 100% free. Don’t forget to tell them that Jeff Knight sent you.
