After Effects has a very powerful type engine for creating all kinds of dynamic type animations, but what if you want something a little more subtle? In this 10 minute tutorial learn how you can combine After Effects’ Opacity and Type Opacity to create stylish, cinematic type fades.
Update: Peripatew Design has created an expression-driven preset that automatically fades the text in and out.
Hey John
So another door opens and new possibilities await. Well for me at least! My next client is gonna get some type animation … period!
Cheers

John,
So nice. Subtle yet powerful.
Nice work as usual John, Thanks!
That was really useful, thanks
Love it! So how do I save this as a preset? Tried dragging range selectors over to Effects & Presets window, but did not work.
Thanks!
So smooth! Simple but very powerful!
Very nice touch! It’s the subtle differences that make all the difference.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for creating a sweet and simple tutorial. I am pretty much a novice to After Effects (took a few classes on AE in school), and this was extremely concise and helpful. I will definitely view more of your tutorials.
You’re welcome Gabrielle!
Thanks for posting! Clear, useful, easy, and pretty.
