Animating text in After Effects
Adobe After Effects 6.5 includes nearly three hundred preset text animations that you can apply from the Effects & Presets palette to instantly create complex text animations. You can view the available presets in the Animation Presets folder in the Effects & Presets palette.
To apply a text preset:
Drag an animation preset from the Effects & Presets palette to a text layer in the Composition window or Timeline window. I use these text presets on a daily basis and the great thing about them is that they are fully adjustable. In your timeline you can easily adjust the range. If you would like the animation to be quicker then simply move the two keyframes closer or maybe you want them to last longer then just move them farther apart.
