Continuing on from the opacity effect I showed you yesterday. In this tutorial I show you how to add the Scale animator to your text to make it pop out, or sit back, into your composition. If you haven’t seen them I’d recommend going to see the previous two blogs to watch the series from the start. This is a very simple effect and when used together with the other animation effects I’m going to show you, they look awesome and stylish!
