Flicker Text Animation Tutorial in After Effects | Flickering Text Effect

[@faith-kj4pg]

These are the best tutorials on KZbin! They are quick, to the point, and very easy to follow. I often get lost in other tutorials and end up making a key mistake, and I have no way of fixing it except to start over. These videos are the best for learning needed skills you can add to later projects.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Glad the method's working then♥️

[@MusicIsMyAnswer]

This worked perfectly on text in After Effects. Thank you! Is there a way to add this same effect to a group of vector shapes. I have a text logo in Illustrator that I would like to give the safe effect to. Thanks x

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately this particular effect is only possible to do with after effects text layers

[@MusicIsMyAnswer]

Thank you! I ended up creating my own font using the letters from the logo and used the font to create the effect :)@@SmertimbaGraphics

[@mrgreatayush]

Awese thanks

[@Afnanvisuals]

i cant get to the project file the link isnt working. btw amazing video!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

I've just checked and it's working, you need to unzip the file

[@OneWingedAngel849]

Great video, I'm trying to follow along with this tutorial but I'm using version 2023 and it seems they've removed the animate button lol any help?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you. The animate button is still there in after effects 2023, I have confirmed that myself. Maybe you've made a mistake on the way?

[@OneWingedAngel849]

@@SmertimbaGraphics I may have to check around, it's the second thing I've noticed isn't where it used to be, I know it's in the program but whenever I use the drop-down menu it doesn't have an animate button. I'll rewatch and keep trying though thank you.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Just to make sure, are you are dealing with a text layer? Because only text layers have animate button. Something like a logo does not have it.

[@OneWingedAngel849]

@@SmertimbaGraphics Ah I see, well that clears things up. sadly I was using a logo but I found a work around thanks again.

You're welcome 😊

Nice job, better without the glow.

[@andrewtsvir5030]

What a great channel! If not difficult, can you suggest the same about motion design? Thanks!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you, will see what I can do 😊

[@eddarnold]

Hey George, thank you so much for this. I am having an issue when I play the animation, each letter simply appears rather than flickers on and off. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You need to reduce the smoothness like shown in the video, then it will flicker

[@eddarnold]

@@SmertimbaGraphics Thank you! Got it working, really great video! Appreciate such a speedy reply too

[@belaidt6801]

Nice.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thanks!

[@LolBall-1205]

The font you use is different from the one I use, and the name of the font is the same but the shape is different, is there a solution?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

I'm using Montserrat font from google fonts, check the character window, maybe the tracking values are different

[@LolBall-1205]

@@SmertimbaGraphics oh yes, thank you, now I have found the font you use, okay, thank you, I hope your content will be more advanced and popular

Set the option to words or lines instead of characters.

cool, what is the font you used?

Can you do this with saber plug in?

Yeah, but you need to add flicker via saber

[@Foxy-eb5xt]

nice tutorial bur why my letter dont flick it appear but that all, not appear dissapear, appear, thx

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You sure you have followed tutorial correctly?

[@mrjasonblackman]

Hey George - when i hit play, it goes through the flicker cycle once and then stops at the 1 second mark... how are you making it so that yours repeats?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Hey, I pretty much play the timeline multiple times, set out point by pressing N at one second

[@mrjasonblackman]

Thanks so much! @@SmertimbaGraphics

[@dishantsharma6562]

Can we add Background in it??

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yes you can

[@williamso264]

can you do this with a logo rather than type?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

It is possible, but would require a completely different approach, since logo would not have all those built in animators that text layers do.

[@lukogrowth]

how can I slow down the effect at the end? I want it flicker fast then slowly at the end

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You can apply easy ease to keyframes and change the speed graph of the animation and create additional keyframes closer to the end.

[@lukogrowth]

@@SmertimbaGraphics but what do I change?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Apply easy ease to keyframes and make animation go fast at the start, that should work, also move end keyframes further into the timeline.

[@lukogrowth]

@@SmertimbaGraphics do I change the random seed speed to high at the start and low at the end? If I move the end keyframes to further, it slows the entire thing down - but I want to only slow the last 0.25 seconds down!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Create extra start and random seed keyframes like 0.25 seconds or so before the end, set random seed really high like 1000, then move 1 frame forward and set it back to low, like 30. Then move end keyframes forward to slow down the end animation.

[@bradfab_fx]

What if I want to manipulate one single letter

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You can apply the effect to as many letters as you want

[@hatimworld2249]

how can i make the flicker endless using expresiion

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

to make it endless set start to a certain value like 50% without making a keyframe on it, then animate random seed, alt click on stopwatch, then type time*10 for example

Why don't you show which version you're doing it in?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

I don't think it matters because this animation is done the same way in all versions. It was done in after effects 2022.
