Free After Effects Project: Bouncing Text with the Expression Selector (CGStirk)
Original title: Automate Bouncing Text in the Expression Selector with After Effects
Overview
CGStirk shares this free After Effects project from his tutorial on automating bouncing text in a text animator's Expression Selector. An easy expression with slider controls automates the bounce, and no plugins are required.
The code, also shared in a linked Google Doc, reads textIndex together with Speed, Index Offset, Start Frame, Amplitude and Decay Rate sliders on an 'Animation Control' layer. The file 'CGStirk Bounce Expression.aep' is a free Google Drive download with no signup; the version is not stated.
