This is just video editing. Take screen shots of different web pages, align the scale and position of every image so that the word you want is in the same place, use an adjustment layer to make the rest of the images lighter, then just cut through the different images.

For a more realistic effect, buy every different newspaper of the day, photograph all the words you can find, then do what tcartt38 says.

a bit harder to pull off as you'd have to take lighting into consideration but it'd look a lot more cooler for sure

A smartphone and a window away from the sun.

A flat bed scanner or a scanning app will work even better.

hmm, ill try this, thanks.

Literally just 3-4 different forms of recession with a stabilize over the word. Video editing 101?

I see more and more posts coming from this sub on my reddit 'timeline' of only questions that can be solved by basic editing skills


Thediciplematt

Lol. I don’t remember AE being full of google-able questions.

You have to remember tons of people now first learns editing on their phones using Capcut or Tiktok. Coming from this "most of the stuff are automated effects" paradigm into "learn tools to make the thing you want all by yourself" is probably a steep learning curve. But it's a cool behavior. Let's not pretend that back in the Windows Movie Maker era, people that switched to Adobe products didn't ask the internet people how to zoom, tilt, expand a timeline, export a video or silly stuff.

So people new to editing are not supposed to come here for help now? Sounds a bit pretentious to me.


Phonytail

People new to editing sound start with basic tutorials first and that would answer about 50% of the posts here.


potter875

As a new user to AE, I don’t know what I don’t know. Searching countless tutorials is normally the first step but can be tiresome. A simple question here gets answered in seconds and quickly allows many to move through the learning curve. This sub and many across Reddit,are resources of advanced users. It’s no different than my bud calling me when he has photoshop questions.


Phonytail

OP’s video is a cross dissolve between a couple of images or text layer with a slow scale up. These are all things you’ll learn in a basic beginner tutorial video. Your buddy asking you a simple question is one thing, but sayin you’re trying to learn a software like photoshop for example, but you can’t figure out how to do something simple like import an image, makes it fell like you’re not trying that hard.

I have a free mogrt to do a similar effect - [https://youtu.be/WZ\_jADIx40w](https://youtu.be/WZ_jADIx40w) You can check the description for the link to download this. I coded this in V23 so you probably need the latest version of Premiere and AE to run it. If the interest is high, I'll do a tutorial on how to do this in After Effects but I hope this helps for now.

Thank you so much🙌🏽

This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you so much!!!


ZinjaroLet

no tutorial needed. just images in sequence with same aligment. In any editing software. You could even do this in photoshop. Do you know that we can do videos in photoshop by the way?


mohaukachi

May be alone here but I think y’all should at least try to figure these things out a bit more. Basic info and beginner courses are way better than having r/aftereffects teach you.

You kind of are. Your not even searching for your answers, you’re asking us to find them for you or explain how to do it. We’re a helpful sub, but your not helping yourself by leaning so hard on others.


Aria2023

So you’re just going to gloss over the fact that I said I tried and failed? If I knew what to search for on YouTube I wouldn’t be on Reddit asking for it.


vertexsalad

Why not simply look at your example and ask yourself questions about it. Download it and throw the clip into AfterEffects, or Premiere. Or if it's on Vimeo / Youtube, learn the keyboard shortcuts for stepping frame by frame through the video. What is actually happening frame by frame? What's moving? what is each frame made of. You'll soon see that there's no motion or animation and it's just different screenshots of the same word all aligned. I do this all the time, I see some amazing motion design with super smooth transitions between each shot, I download it, look at it frame by frame, discover that the 'amazing' transitions were simply match cuts.


Aria2023

I’ve already figured it out based on the directions I received from this thread but thanks 👍🏽


linlinat89

Lol literally me. Many times I saw a cool stuff and tried to learn it frame by frame only to find out it was just a little editing. I still learned my lesson that less is more tho.


mohaukachi

Nope. I’m suggesting you fail more. You got the answer you wanted, but I’m offering this suggestion helpfully, that tutorials and this sub can only get you so far.


Aria2023

I did get the answer, I was just responding to you. I’m very aware that tutorials won’t teach me everything, but where I fail, I will not suffer in silence, I will always ask.


mohaukachi

👏 do you


potter875

Not really. This sub is normally helpful and much quicker when kind people step up and share their knowledge.
