Description

Just type your text, apply this preset and you have text scrolling automatically and infinitely!

WHY I MADE THIS?

If you tried making scrolling text animation in After Effects and like me, found the manual set up troublesome and quite time consuming, then this is exactly why I created this preset.

How to use?

  • Copy the preset to the Presets folder in After Effects. Or place in a folder of your choice.

  • In After Effects, create a point text (not box text) and type your text.

  • IMPORTANT: The preset will add expressions to the Source Text and Anchor Point properties of the layer. Please do not add keyframes there.

  • Apply the preset from the library or from your folder.

  • Text will be auto-scrolling. Adjust the settings as you wish!
