Benn Tk is a famous travel filmmaker, especially for storytelling and awesome transitions. One of his famous transitions is zoom in through masking text. In this tutorial, I’ll try to make you understand how you can zoom in through the text in after effects.
First, we unhide upper video layer by clicking on the eye icon. Now select the second video layer and navigate to the right of after effects, where you’ll find the tracker panel and click on track camera, go to the effect controls, and under advanced, check the detailed analysis for in-depth analysis.
Now you see a lot of tracking points in the video. Let’s find out a red target to create text. This way, we can make a text and a 3d tracker camera layer on the timeline.
Next, select the text layer and expand the transform. You’ll find a few options to adjust the text size, position, rotation, and others. Now, Double-click on the text to enable typing mode and type something you want, like Europe. You can change the text’s font, style, color, and others in the character panel.
To bring the 3d look to the text, we can apply the drop shadow. For Zoom in and masking, we have to place the text in the correct position. When we confirm the final position of the text for the ending part of zoom-in, then we must set a keyframe of the position. Now drag the time indicator to the beginning frame and change the text’s position, and then a keyframe will create automatically.
Next, unhide the 1st video and we draw a mask exactly here. And now, you’re ready to change every single masking point. Move the time indicator forward and change the masking position when required.
We need to add natural motion blur to the text to make it realistic and better. This icon is for motion blur, so we enable it for the text layer by clicking here in this box. Now see, it looks crazy.
