In this video I will be showing you a kinetic typography technique to animate between font weights in After Effects and better yet I will be showing you three different ways to do it. A simpler and quicker version, a more standard way of doing it but time consuming and a harder version using expressions.
The font I am using is called Made Outer Sans and you can get it for free here:
Here is the expression I use for the last technique. You will need to change the font name if you use a different font and don’t forget to pickwhip from your expression to your slider control effect to get the most accurate coding for this.
var array=[
“MADEOuterSans-Thin”,
“MADEOuterSans-Light”,
“MADEOuterSans”,
“MADEOuterSans-Medium”,
“MADEOuterSans-Bold”,
“MADEOuterSans-Black”
];
r = Math.round(thisComp.layer(“Null 11”).effect(“Font”)(“Slider”));
style.setFont(array[r]);
