description and I hope to see you there now let's get into the tutorial all right we're here in After Effects and right now we're just going to be working on the first animation it's a little bit more simpler and once we're done that it's really going to work you up to the next one so what you want to do is of course have After Effects open and start a composition here are the composition settings that you need to have you can pause this copy it and then hit okay from here what we need to do is create a box so I'm going to go up to the top top left here where it says rectangle tool click on that and click and drag while holding shift this is going to make a perfect box for us so something around that size should work and then the color should be this right here if you go up to stroke you'll see you can change the color you can copy this color code if you're following along and then just hit okay keep the stroke at two you should be good if you do that the one thing that we need to change here is to make sure that this is in the middle now there's a couple ways to go about this one is if you have the plug-in motion tools layout this is completely free by the way go ahead and download it add it to After Effects and this will allow you to change the Anchor Point you can see it right here will allow you to easily change it to the middle of the square if you just click this thing right here that makes this Anchor Point in the middle now if you don't have this and you're like too lazy you don't want to download it just go ahead and hit Y on your keyboard that'll allow you to grab this Anchor Point and move it roughly to the middle of course it's not going to be exactly perfect so if you want it perfect just use motion tools from here what we need to do is Center this to easily do that go over to to the Line tab here if you don't see this just go up to window and you'll see a line make sure that's checked that should appear over here have this open and then just hit align horizontally this will place it in the middle horizontally and then align vertically will also align it vertically as well basically what it says but yeah so that's how you put it exactly in the middle it's looking good what we need to do from here is make the text around it so I always like to set up the scene first before animating and that's exactly what we're doing go up to the text tool here in the top left click once and we're just going to going to type in inhale the font that we're using right here is Tamil sangam M MN uh so if you don't have that on your S I can provide that in the project file and files will only be available in the community so if you want to go ahead and join that you'll have access to all the project files and be able to get the fonts and all that but if you're just following along totally fine you can find this font online for free this is what it's called right here okay so we want the Anchor Point in the middle in the text here and then drag Dr it to the left here and we want to align it horizontally in the middle so just click it once here we'll put it in the middle horizontally and that looks pretty good as is I'm going to duplicate this by making sure it's selected and hitting command D that will duplicate our layer I'm going to drag it over to the right here we're going to change the text to hold try to get that exact distance as the distance in between here with this here so it need to move to the right a little bit that looks good and then obviously we need to align it vertically so just go back to your line and then click align vertically this will put it in the middle for us so it's in the center of the Box we're going to duplicate inhale again so hit command D once you duplicate this one just click on it and hold shift and drag it down holding shift will keep it in its horizontal plane or in its vertical plane and then try to find that exact distance something around there looks pretty good same thing with hold just hit command D to duplicate it click on and hold down shift drag it to the left and place it roughly around the same distance just like that all right so that is basically our scene set up now we're going to get into animating it and then from there we're going to add the finishing touches but to animate what we want to do is click on our box layer make sure you drop this down you'll see where it says add right here click on this and then do trim paths drop down trim paths and you can see once we mess with the start percentage it starts to take away the line but we need it to take away in the right direction so what we want to do here to line things up easily take that n percentage and just move it to the left a little bit but we need it to be anchored not from this corner but to this corner so to do that go over to his offset here and then just change the anchoring of the offset to where it hits this corner from there we can take the end and completely just make it 100% or actually 0% excuse me so that'll get away and then we want it to animate this just like that so we're going to increase the percentage of the end and it will animate exactly how we want all right so to do that just make a key frame for end make sure that your play head is at the beginning while doing this from there I'm going to drag my playhead to the right by like let's just say 2 seconds we might have to mess with with the distances later but this should be fine I want to increase the end point until it hits this corner right here then I'm going to drag my playhead by 2 seconds so around 4 seconds here and then increase it by 50% just so when it hits the corners move my playhead by 2 seconds again increase by another 25% should be at 75% move my play head to the right by 2 seconds and then increase it to another 25% so 100% so if we play this back it's looking pretty good one thing we need to add to this is a easy ease so I'm going to highlight all the key frames here right click go to key frame assistant easy ease so we'll give it a little bit of a easing in to where it meets its next point and then uh the same exact effect will happen as it keeps on meeting points here and then we'll judge if the speed is good by watching it back okay so the speed's a little slow I think moving having it scale in or or move to the right by a second and a half is probably best so I'm going to put my playhead in the middle between 1 second and 2 second here and just drag that key frame there so then we want to scale it by another second and a half so going to 3 seconds we're going to drag this play head to 3 seconds then 4.5 seconds drag this key frame there and then 6 seconds so this should give us the right speed that we're looking for that looks fantastic one thing that we need to do is then have this side of the line start to disappear here as it reaches its end over here so right around when it hits this corner on the bottom right here that's when we want this one to start animating out so when it hits that corner I'm going to create a key frame for start move my playhead all the way to the end here to line with this one which you can do to easily align to this key frame just hit this go to next key frame here and it will automatically put your play head exactly where that key frame's at and then what we can do is just change start all the way to 100% so if we play this back you'll see it begins to disappear here and it's perfect that's it this one's pretty simple as far as animation that's all we need to do but now we need to add the sauce which is the glow to it and I got that from aul you always want to add the sauce at the end so shout out to him but to add this glow what I'm going to use is a Effect called Deep glow now this effect cost a little bit of money around like 50 bucks US dollar I believe definitely recommend getting it as I use this effect a lot and a lot of the top crators use this effect it's just a little bit better than the after effects regular glow plugin you certainly can get the same effect or the same look with the regular plug-in that after effects has it just takes a little bit more time and manipulation to get that desired effect so what deep glow does is just you can apply it to pretty much anything and right off the bat it's pretty good it's pretty good to go there might just be one or two settings that you may need to adjust but it's definitely a little bit better as far as quickness and getting the desired effect that you want from the glow I'm going to add that on so in the effects and presets I'm just going to look up deep glow we're going to toss this onto our shape layer first and you see right off the bat it looks really good I think I'm just going to leave it as is these are the settings here in the left you can just copy this if yours aren't matching but it looks really good right off the bat so I'm going to copy this deep glow by hitting command C then we can apply it to all the other text here but the thing we want to do okay one funny thing that I actually noticed is that this text here is just supposed to be exhale not inhale so you can change that make sure it's Capital here you should be good all right but for the glow effect what we need to do each time this you call it bar or whatever loads that's when like these aren't supposed to be glowing so when it goes to the side it's supposed to be at then this glows so we need to animate that glow effect to do that we're just going to start off with inhale make sure that layer's selected then we're going to go over to deep glow effect and for exposure I'm going to create a key frame for that as soon as I create a key frame I can hit U on my keyboard and that's going to show any effect with with a key frame on it with the layer that you have selected I'm going to drag this key frame to the right a little bit and keep my play head at the beginning and then just change this to zero so I'm going to so as this bar comes in the glow really starts to shine and then as it leaves as it gets to the next one we need to have it disappear so I'm going to create a key frame for that and then soon as this next one starts we're going to have it disappear so change the exposure to zero we can kind of adjust the settings here a little bit then what we can do is copy these key frames then just paste them to our text here so we want to line up this key frame with the hold text and hit command V you'll see that I'll just paste those key frames and it should align pretty well to where when this bar starts on this side this text here starts to glow and then we can do that for this one as well so find this key frame in the bar go over to Exhale and hit command V you'll copy those key frames there and then same thing for the final one it should be good when watching this back we can see that these things just start to shine as the bar goes and it looks really good all right so that is how you do the first one it's a really good stepping stone to doing this next one that's just a tad bit more advanced and yeah if you're following along and you want the project file make sure to join the community and you'll be able to get the project file all the fonts including this next scene that we're going to set up here you'll be able to download all the assets that go along with it to be a part of the community many great things are happening there couple of challenges with cash prizes 101s inner circles mentoring and of course there's the leverage editor program in there and it will teach you from going from an average editor where you're just getting by working with anybody and not getting the pay that you deserve to then becoming an advanced editor we can earn a whole lot more with a lot more ease which is really important and deal with amazing clients who respect your craft so make sure to join and you'll get those project files and everything else that comes along along with it and let's start with the next scene here so what we want to do here is go to composition new composition copy these settings right here and you should be good just going to call this scene two you can call it whatever and then hit okay for this animation just like always we want to set up the entire scene first before we actually animate so the first thing that we need to do is create a ball or two balls in a way so go up to your shape tool here and go to ellipse tool then we're just going to click and drag while holding shift holding shift allows you to create a perfect circle here so I'm going to let go of that now we need to change a couple settings here so we're going to change the stroke from two to four so make sure the stroke is four change the color to white then we need to add a gradient so we're going to go over to fill click fill not the actual color part of it change it to gradient hit okay so you can see I was kind of messing with this before this is kind of what we need but we will do the gray gradient first so what I'm going to do here is actually change this one here on the left that's black I'm going to change it to White I'm going to change this one that's green to Black now you're probably looking at this and like the gradient is not looking right so what we need to do is move this little Diamond here more towards the end here hit okay and hit V on your keyboard as soon as you're done hitting okay hit V and you'll notice that this little thing here pops up this allows us to control a little bit more of the gradient so you can also drag this one to the left and it'll give us more our desired look that we're going for here looks good one thing to not here is we want to put the Anchor Point in the middle as I'll before what you could do is hit Y on your keyboard roughly move it to the middle but if you have motion tools which is a completely free plugin and I recommend you download it just hit this little thing in the center it will automatically Center our Anchor Point from there I'm going to go to align we want to align it vertically and then we want to click it hold down shift to keep it on it same plane and then move it to the right right about here should be good from here we need to create some text so I'm going to go to my top left hit on the text tool click once Type U change this font to you Opa grotesque so if you don't have this font once again I will be providing it in the community you and you'll be able to download it if you're not a part of the community you can just look up this font online for free so if you do want it really quickly just join the community and you should and you'll be able to download it so since I typed in you here we can also Center The Anchor Point and then move this to the middle of our Circle so to make sure that's in the middle just go to the line and then just align it vertically and I'll put it in the middle from here what I'm going to do is highlight both of these layers here hit command D on my keyboard and once I hit command D it's going to duplicate both those layers and I kind of want to just put them together here so I'm going to drag this bottom shape Layer Two up and then we're going to hold down shift while both of those are selected move this to the left try to get that same distance between the edges here something like that should be good so let's change this text to goal and then what we need to do is change the gradient here of this one on the left so go to your shape Layer Two the circle go to fill I'm just going to drag this white over to the right and this black all the way to the left here change this white to a green so something like this color right here should work so you can copy that color code if you're following along I'm going to change this little uh I don't even know what you call this thing this diamond uh that kind of just controls the gradient a little bit I'm going to move it over to the right hit okay and as soon as you're hitting okay don't do anything you'll still see these two little dots here this allows us to manipulate the gradient a little bit more so I'm going to do that just allows us to add those little touches on there and then that should look good something like that if you're following along that should look good so I'm noticing that this one still doesn't feel totally in the center or totally the same distance and I'm just going to adjust it and it should look good from here what we can do is actually precompose these layers so I'm going to the the the circle on the left highlight both those layers right click do precompose then I'm going to call this one goal Circle hit okay make sure move all attributes to new composition selected hit okay same thing for this one we're just going to copy that steps that we did is just by promosing it and just call it U Circle what we can do here is also to stay organized is change the color to change the color we just select this little color tag here and then I'm just going to change this one to Orange this one's fine as brown this just lets us know like what is what a little bit easier trying to stay more organized it really helps you out when editing a lot faster from here what I'm going to do is select the pen tool and we need to make a straight line I'm going to select once here and then hold down shift this is going to make a straight line for us and then select ones here we're going to get rid of the fill on this just no fill hit okay and then the stroke is fine keep it at has four so that's pretty good so what we can see is happening here in this one that I already completed is that the line shows disappears and then this builds up we need to build this out before we get into animating one thing that we can do quickly is like just go by like 4 seconds for now and what you can do is just delete part of this line so I hit command shift d to make a cut and I want to delete the layer to the right so this line is showing here for the first 4 seconds and then gets a wet this will allow us to stay organized and create all the other lines without getting confused on what's what so let's create these these other lines the first thing that we're going to do is go over the shape tool and then hit this rectangle or the rounded rectangle tool click on that and then we're just going to go over here and click once hold down shift and then we're going to go over here and click and drag create something like what we can do here is make sure that Anchor Point is in the middle by going to motion tools and centering that go to align then align vertically and then also align horizontally this will put it in the middle we can drag this to the bottom and then we need to round the corners off and make it a dashed line so to do that in your drop down here for the shape layer we could actually rename this to Outer rectangle then in the contents here we want to drop this down go to stroke drop that stroke down and then we'll see dashes we want to make this a plus this will change the dashes here and then we want to scale them up just a tad bit something like that all right but we're also coming across the problem here where the corners aren't as rounded as we want so to get them rounded we want to go to the rectangle path hit the drop down on that and you'll see roundness right now it's at 20 we just want to beef this up a little bit right around like 55 should be good and there we go we have that all right so I always say you want to set up your scene first before you get into animation but there are some small things that we can do like right off the bat it makes it a little bit more simpler for us and that's just having that animation where the dash lines is moving to Simply do that go back into the stroke and you'll see dashes here if we manipulate that offset we can see that the dash lines just move so we want to have that happen bring your playhead to the beginning here go to offset set make a key frame for that then drag your play head to the right by you know a couple of seconds and then move this offset into the negative so like 128 might be good little too slow so what we can do is go back to this key frame here and just keep on increasing this by the negatives that looks pretty good so we can close that up for now drag this to the right to when this line disappears cuz then this little outer rectangle will start to appear all from there there's a couple things that we need to make which is it's supposed to be like a basketball court so to do that we want to go up to our pen tool make sure no layers is selected here and create a little line in the middle so click once hold shift and that's going to make a straight line for us if you click again we want to change the stroke to one keep it as white and then we want to Center this as well so click on the layer go to a line Center that vertically and then Center it horizontally I'm also going to change the opacity to like 75% looks good we also want to create a circle so go to the lips tool click and hold shift while creating a circle we want to make it a lot smaller than the ones on the right and left something like that and then the Str of one is good and all we need to do is align this so first before we actually go to the Align settings here we need to Center The Anchor Point to do that just hit on motion tools Center it I showed you how to center it before if you don't have motion tools so just make sure that anchor Point's in the middle go over to align vertically click on that and align horizontally and that will perfectly put it in the middle last thing we need to do is change the opacity to 75% that looks good what we can do is drag both these layers to the right as well okay now we need to make that line that appears where it shows that the path to your goals isn't always as straight there's obstacles in your way for getting a basket in basketball so we need to create that line so go to your pen tool make sure no layers are selected and then click once here make sure you hold down shift on your keyboard and click and then we're going to make some like jagged lines here so I'm going to click down once here click once up here click all the way down right here and then click over here we're gonna change this go for and keep it as white all right that's looking pretty good last thing to do as far as the scene setup is creating a bunch of those red circles which represent obstacles for the concept of this animation so to do that go up to the lips tool click and drag we want to keep these pretty small so around here I'm going to change the stroke to 2.5 change the stroke color to Red here you can copy this color code hit okay and then what we need to do is I'm going to move this to the right and then we need to just duplicate this a bunch of times and change the scaling of it before we actually duplicate it I want to Center The Anchor Point motion tools just click Center here once again if you don't have motion tools you just hit Y on your keyboard take this Anchor Point put it in the middle but to get it perfect just use motion tools and Center that right away all right so I'm going to command do this to duplicate just drag it kind of just position it in a couple different areas and mess with the scaling so I'm going to hit s on my keyboard scale it down duplicate it move it over here duplicate it just move it in kind of random areas mess with the scaling a little bit command D command D mess with the scaling so I'm going to speed this part up all right so there we have a we have all the circles we want one thing I noticed is that this Jagged shape layer here needs to be kind of deleted in the beginning so I'm just going to cut that out or drag that to the right so that all this starts to appear roughly around the same time now that we have our entire scene set up we need to go ahead and animate this and then once we're animating it we're going to add the sauce to it all right so the first couple things that we want to animate is these circles here and then the line but let's focus on the circle coming in so I'm going to go to the goal circle make sure that layer is selected I'm going to drop down the transformation settings here what I want to do is actually move this Anchor Point so that it kind of comes in like on a swivel and I'll show you what I mean so hit Y on your keyboard this will allow you to drag this Anchor Point and you want to put it like roughly right about here it's probably good then from here we want to create a key frame for rotation make sure your play head's at the beginning and create a key frame for position take these key frames and bring them to the right here then with my play head still in the beginning make sure you hit V on your keyboard to bring back your regular cursor I'm going to change the rotation of it so it's kind of like swiveling in so you can see will it will swivel in here then I'm also going to bring it off screen so even bringing it down a little bit more something like that is pretty good what we want to do from here is highlight all these key frames right click key frame assistant easy ease then go over to graph editor click once on the right key frame here and bring that to the left so you want to also click on this pink one and then click on the right key frame and then drag it to the left so your curve should look like that and what it does is just manipulate the speed of it and that looks fantastic all right now we need to move on to the U the U is pretty simple we don't need to really manipulate the rotation of it but I'm going to drop down the transform tools make sure my playhead is at the beginning go to position and make a key frame for that drag it to the right I kind of want you coming in a little just like a tad bit before the goal ones in there I'm just going to make my key frame a little bit before goal gets to its normal spot then I'm just going to take U and drag it up into left a tad bit from there what we can do is highlight both these key frames right click key frame assistant easy ease and then we just need to go to our graph editor click once on the right here move this to the left and you should be good to go so it should look like that now it's time to actually get the line to animate so one thing we can do is take the shape layer I'm going to change the name to first line we can delete the first half of it right when the U gets to its spot so we could see in the key frames here that U gets right to spot that's when we want this line to actually start appearing but we want it to animate in to where it then connects to Gold to do that all we have to do is drop down the settings here for the first line go to add and then we want to do add trim pass from here we can see that trim pass is added we want to hit the drop down for that then we want to I'm going to un toogle this to show you what I'm talking about we want to figure out what is the start and end point so if I manipulate the start percentage you'll see that as I increase it it starts to go left we don't want it to go in that that direction so we want to manipulate the end point so as I decrease the end it starts to go towards you so what we want to do is make this zero hit a key frame make sure our playhead is at the very beginning of this layer drag our playhead to the right a little bit and then make it 100 so then you can see that it's animating in all we need to do is highlight these key frames now and then right click key frame assistant easy ease click on the graph click once right here and drag that to the left and now come in a little bit smoother what we can do also is just kind of move this to the right to mess with the uh timing of it think it go a little bit right okay so that should be good from here what we can do is then have this disappear so once that kind of connects give it like a couple frames just a couple don't want too much and then hit t on your keyboard with the first line layer selected this will bring up the opacity I'm going to create a key frame here then drag my playhead to the right right just a little bit and then make it zero okay the timing of Everything feels pretty good when this comes in that moves to the left disappears now we need this stuff to kind of appear sooner so right when this disappears we can see the key frame we can hit command shift d that's going to cut it and then we can just delete the layer to the right and that we just have it kind of cut out keep things a little bit more organized and then this gives us a que or a position to put the rest of these layers in the right area so I'm going to drag this right when it cuts out here and then the same thing with all these layers here so one thing that actually happens first is the rectangle that comes in first so what we can do is just highlight all these other layers and move it to the right because those are going to come in later this rectangle needs to come in first so what we want to do to have this outer rectangle appear we want it to kind of like expand from the U to do that we just right click here precompose just call it outer rectangle angle hit okay go over to your pen tool with this layer still selected then we're going to click once here kind of make a v like that and then make a rectangle on the the second half so V over here and then a box kind of over here and then we want to drop down the settings here go to mask drop that down go to add we actually want to change this to subtract and then we want to drop down the mask one more time you'll see mask path make sure your playhead is at the beginning of this layer here create a key frame for Mass path drag your play head to the right just a little bit hit V on your keyboard and then we can just take this and move it all the way to the left of course we might have to change the timing that's a little bit too fast so I'm going to drag my playhead to the right or I'm going to drag the key frame to the right a little bit highlight both of them key frame assistant easy ease still a little too fast so I'm going to drag that to the right okay right around like almost before 5 seconds is probably where we want to put that key frame from there everything else needs needs to start appearing what I did is just dragged all these layers to write when this rectangle is done animating in that's when everything else appears so right about here so I'm going to label things a little bit better to make things a little bit organized I'm just going to go through and do that for all these little circles I'm just going to make these red that let us know that these are all the little red circles and then we have our lines here so first things that we want to work with here we can just unhide highlight all those little red dots just to make it a little bit easier I'm going to highlight this Jagged line and we want to make these two things appear to quickly do that instead of like animating them what we can do here is just bring our playhead to the beginning select center line or actually we could select both of them so select both of them hit t on your keyboard that'll bring up opacity we want to create a key frame for that drag it to the right and then change this to zero so I'll have both of those coming in at the exact same time and then keep things a little bit more or organized what we can do is pre-compose this and call this Center Circle SL line and then hit okay we could also change the color of this if we want to from here now we need to have that jaged a line begin to appear so I'm going to drag my playhead to the beginning of the layer zoom in a little bit here we need to drop down the contents of the jagged line to where we see add right here once you see that you're going to click on that do trim pass you see trim pass that appears here we're going to drop that down as well make sure that's high Ed and we just need to mess with the either start or the end so it looks like the end we want to make that zero keep our play head at the beginning here hit a key frame for end drag my playhead to the right a little bit and then we're going to create a key frame to where it hits like right here once it hits right there I'm going to drag my playhead out a little bit more and then make this end 100% so it should look like something like this okay so when it looks like that then we just want to highlight all these key frames right click key frame assistant easy EAS and there we have it all those Jagged aligns appear now we need to make the red dots appear to do that I'm going to highlight all of these layers here all the red dotts first off we need to toggle them so we could see them again I'm going to drag my play head to the beginning hit t on my keyboard create a key frame for opacity drag that to the right and then make this zero so all those begin to appear from here what we need to do is actually make these circles wiggle a little bit just to add some more Dynamic to it more movement to do that I'm just going to take this first red shaped layer here and we're going to make an expression it's pretty simple so hit p on your keyboard that's going to bring up position I'm going to hold down option on Mac uh it might be option or control on PC hold that down and then click the key frame for position you're going to click that and that's going to bring up the Expressions window here once this Expressions window is here we can just type in wiggle once wiggle there I'm going to do wiggle 1 comma 2 it might be hard for you to tell but it's just wiggling ever so slightly so to apply this same exact expression to all these other layers what we need to do is just click this position here on this layer go to edit in the top left here and you'll see copy Expressions only once that's copied you want to highlight the rest of these layers and then hit command V what it is just copy that expression to all those other layers one thing that we can do here as well is just precompose these layers I'm going to change this to red as well so we know what that stands for so we watch this back the animation should be there all righty it's finally time to start adding that secret sauce or the finishing touches to it and that is mainly the glow effect as I was saying before I'm going to use the plug-in deep glow I highly recommend using this honestly they should sponsor me I'll see if I can get you a discount code in the future but use this effect it's only $50 if you can afford it it makes it a lot easier to get the desired glow effect that you're going for After Effects regular glow effect is totally fine for you you to use if you don't want to spend the money but it just requires a little bit more manipulation and time to get a nice looking glow effect so I'm going to use deep glow and to do that I'm going to go to effects and presets here and you can see deep close already typed in here drag this onto the first Circle here I'm going to take down the exposure a little bit maybe change the radius just a tad right around here so you could copy these settings if you have deep glow I'm going to hit command C on my keyboard to copy this effect and we're just going to paste it to all the other lines and whatever layers that are in here and see if we need to manipulate anything so everything's looking pretty good with the glow effect you might not need to manipulate it but it looks pretty good actually one thing I'm going to do on the center circle and in line here I'm going to actually get rid of the deep glow looks better better without it gives it a little bit more depth when you do that when only like the things in the background don't really have any glow to it from here it's just having the text pop up so the first thing that we need to do or type in here is just go up to your type tool in the top left click once on the screen and then just type in how you think your journey will be dot dot dot I'm going to Center this so I'm going to make the Anchor Point in the middle here go to line Center that try to find the right area right spot for I think this could actually move down a tad bit so right around there all right so we're going to change the color of this text and by the way if you don't have this font once again be available for you to download if you're in the community you can find it online if you don't want to join the community so I'm going to just change this to Green here something like that should look good maybe a little bit wher greenish white that should be good and then we want to find where we want this to disappear so right when that line here disappears we want that to disappear so I'm going to go command shift d it's going to make a cut and then can delete it on the right so then it disappears what we can do is animate the opacity so I'm going to hit t on my keyboard make sure my play head's to the left a little bit create a key frame for that drag my playhead to the right make it at 0% align that key frame with the end of the layer then from there I can hit command D drag this over over to write where that cut is and then we're going to change the text then we change it to how it actually would be and we can change this color to more of a red and then we want this to animate in or the opacity to animate in so what we can do is just delete these ones on the end hit the key frame for opacity here drag my playhead to the right a little bit and then change this to 100% last thing to do is add a glow to it so I'm going to add that deep glow deep glow mess with the settings a little bit really turn that exposure down maybe a little bit of the radius as well that's pretty good so I'm going to hit command D to copy that effect and apply it to this text here and here you have it our final animation now if you want to learn how to do this and do a lot more
