after effects
Dispersion of Text Welcome everyone in the world where we make the beautiful things more beautiful. In this tutorial we will create an effect that you have created several times but mostly in 3d i.e. dispersion of name in sand. But in this tutorial we try to do this effect in after effects using Trapcode Form. Trapcode Form is an intelligent particle system which is very strong and gives wonderful results in short span of time. Without wasting more time on theory let’s move on to practical. Step 1: Create a new composition (Ctrl + N) Step 2: Select a text tool and create the text you like to disperse. Step 3: Create a new composition (Ctrl + N) again and then create a Solid Layer. Now we have to create an animated mask. For doing this select the mask tool and create a rectangle mask as per the size of the text, so mask covers the whole text. Apply Blur & Sharpen > Gaussian Blur to blur the edges of the mask from all sides, you can also use feather option of the mask.
