✅ VIDEO SUMMARY
To add the Tracking text animation property to a text object in After Effects, make sure you've expanded the text options for the correct layer. Then go to "Animate" and press on "Tracking". From here you can adjust the "Tracking Amount" option to increase or decrease the amount of spacing between your text characters.

In order to adjust the origin of the tracking animation, simply once again go to "Animate" and add the option "Line Anchor" (make sure you are still on the correct layer!). This should add the option to the animator that was created when adding the tracking property. You can then adjust the line anchor to change the origin of the tracking animation. For example, 0% will mean it starts from the left, whereas, 100% will make it start from the right!
