Kinetic typography in After Effects — text that moves with rhythm and personality — is a staple of modern motion design. Here is a fast workflow using the Type script.
What makes typography kinetic?
It is about timing and staggering: words and letters enter, emphasise and exit on a beat. A dedicated tool makes that rhythm easy to control.
Step 1 — Add your text
Create the text you want to animate.
Step 2 — Apply Type
Use Type to build the animation instead of hand-keying.
Step 3 — Set the rhythm
Adjust timing and staggering so the motion lands on your beat.
Step 4 — Style it
Refine the look until the type feels polished.
