This is a quick After Effects tutorial for you. I wanted to play around with the new After Effects text expression access and I thought it might be interesting to be able to finally animate font weight with it—rather than having to animate sourceText keyframes. It’s like having a value brand variable-width font!

Hopefully this expression access is opened up more in the future. It’d be nice to be able to combine styles in the same text layer. But for now I don’t see a way to do that, unless I’m missing something. This seems to be here mainly to help build mogrts for Premiere, which is sad as it’s been something a lot of us have wanted in AE for a long time.

Anyway, if you use this technique on anything, hit us up on twitter @workbench_tv!
