I see people complaining about the speed of the tut, but Frankly I prefer the swiftness because it makes it a thousand times easier and come back to if I miss a step, mostly because you explain things pretty well. I watch a lot of tut's where it takes half the video to start a lesson and the audio is muffled and the presenter takes too long and lacks enthusiasm, so just gotta say I loved this one!
The last one I watched people commented "Jeeez! Get to the point". Dude, it was perfect. If people can't be arsed to pause or rewind it they should be buying plugins. Good video. :)
make sure you select the alpha mat invert to your shape, like mine is layer 6 for the moving layer and layer 5 for for the line, when you drop your layer underneath layer 5, when you hit alpha mat you want to select not layer 6 alpha mat but layer 6 alpha mat inverted, that hides your text.
You're a genius, thankyou! Also guys I found this out accidentally, but to reverse it so the "invisibox" goes over your text you can animate the lines width scale to gradually go down to 0%. Try it out ;) Thankyou again Caleb.
I think the main issue people are having is that I'm not explaining the fundamentals. Like how to create text, move shapes, zoom into the image, basic keyboard shortcuts, etc. I agree, and personally think the tutorial is at a fine pace, but for people that are just learning After Effects, this is definitely advanced.
Awesome! I've been doing the same technique but key framing the mask position by itself. I never thought to parent to the shape I was using to reveal the text. Thanks for the time saver!
Thank you for the tutorial. After a few second later I started watching I remembered that we can use mask! Awesome, and it worked just fine, try it out with mask if you have no solid background.
Yo this helped so much and I always appreciate the content and when i found the channel and got the energy from you from the previous video, you've been nothing but real and can vouch for the amazing content and how down to earth you are with everything! All the most love, respect, and appreciation
Thanks for actually explaining the context of the blue box! I don't think you were going too fast - there's a pause button for a reason ;) Main thing is we can see what you're clicking on. Great tut!
Hi, thx for this tutorial. It's short and essential. One question - how would you do the line shortening (like at the beginning of this tutorial), because when I do this using scale, it is scaling with this mask that is parented to the line, If You would be kind to answer, it would be great. Thanks again for this tut.
Hey love his tutorial I was wondering how I could do this: Once the white line swipes down to reveal the text I want to slide it up but when I do I want a new text to appear so you know how I could do that xoxo
This is largely just you showing off your skills, give us more step by step instead of skimming over what you consider unnecessary details. Its more about figuring how to do each step than the overall effect for me at least. Appreciate your content keep it up.
Great video! Can you tell me, what if you want to use two different text layers? Meaning the line reveals one text statement moves down and up, then a new text statement. Can you still do two alpha mattes to the same shape layer?
Precompose! Precompositions are one of the best solutions to most problems in After Effects. Take your two text layers, precompose them (with both highlighted press ctrl+shift+c) to make them one layer, keep the first text layers duration in sync with the line, and then the frame the line is fully back up and above the first text layer to make it invisible, you're going to end that text layer in your precomposition and begin your new one.
Hey, It took me a few minutes and a lot of "apple Z's" to figure out how to make my multiple text lines work. When you create your text layer then ALPHA MAT it to the hidden box, from what I see -and excuse me if this is the long way to fix the problem- you need to duplicate the hidden box and place above the new text layer. In my case I have 4 text boxes that need to be revealed, and I have 4 hidden boxes. Then I just need to animate the White line up and down to reveal the text. From there I precomposed the entire thing. Thank you Caleb.... and for everyone who is having issues with the speed... pause and rewind... I watched the video 6 times, and each time caught something new, and guess what I really know how to do it now. :) Cheers
sliding text as in just text sliding onto the page with the slight motion blur and all that goodness? you'd just keyframe the text to go from offscreen to onscreen on the position values - enable motion blur and all is good. motion blur should work with text but if not right click the text layer, turn into shape, rinse and repeat. does this help at all? or I could make a tutorial for you if you'd like? whatever works for you dude. :)
Thanks, Caleb. Your tutorial is how I learned to do the two title sequences in my recent short film. I really appreciate you sharing this incredibly helpful information.
ooooh my godddd, i have done another way always and that was too much harder than this method. i used mask to do this ! i give a positon from left to right to my shape and then made that a pre compose and then by using mask , i hide that ! thank you so much for your help
Gee, did I spend good amount of time trying to replicate this effect only with masks in After Effects.. And of course it had to be something simple. Thank you for sharing Caleb!
Great video. These might be amateur questions but... - Could you make a video on how to make Text come out of the straight line in the middle. Ideally text coming from it above and below. Is that possible? - How do you ensure that the line you make it straight? - Do you know how to save this as my own preset I can use any time and change the text? - Is it possible to use this to overlay on a video in premiere pro with it over the video or does this have to be done in after effects? (i got everything in your video except the last stage. Did not know what you done after you keyframed the last 2 frames. How you got the movement and changed it to "x" and then make it dissapear) thanks!
How do you animate the line to move in and out like that in the beginning of the video? when I do scale it just makes it smaller or bigger doesn't make the line actually move into itself.
Semi new to AE so sorry if this is dumb, but is it possible to cover the text back up with the rectangle in the same animation? Reveal, and then cover again?
Always thankful to get see free content and tutorials, but you didn`'t explain the first animation of the line before it goes down. Could someone tell me how to do that?
do you know how can I do this effect with 2 lines? its like... one line at the middle split into 2 lines and each one of them moves in a different direction to make the text appear
Hey i really need help, i tried this but because my text layer is a photoshop file when i choose alpha it does not have the option to link it with the shape tool i dont know what to do?

Thanks a lot!
there are a BUNCH of videos showing how to do this, but this is probably the easiest and least CPU taxing method i have seen. THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome!
"I feel like I'm going a little bit fast here" proceeds to go fast here
Chino Chin :(
Meanwhile I'm playing it at 1.5x ;-P
How did he make the line collapse to himself and disappear in the intro? (00:04)
he didnt explain that
I think you can use trim paths!
The last one I watched people commented "Jeeez! Get to the point". Dude, it was perfect. If people can't be arsed to pause or rewind it they should be buying plugins. Good video. :)
for the people complaining about the speed. theres a speed option in youtube.
or just skip a bit back if you missed it.
great tutorial!
after browsing through so many channels. Yours is by far the best. The explaining thod is so great and detailed even complex stuff is
All my life i was wondering how to do this. And here it is everything in just 6 mins.
make sure you select the alpha mat invert to your shape, like mine is layer 6 for the moving layer and layer 5 for for the line, when you drop your layer underneath layer 5, when you hit alpha mat you want to select not layer 6 alpha mat but layer 6 alpha mat inverted, that hides your text.

So far the only tutorial I've seen that takes it slow and doesn't require prior experience to soft design.
I know many are saying this is fast, but compared to many tutorials this isnt too bad at all. Great video!
I think the main issue people are having is that I'm not explaining the fundamentals.

You got it! Always easy to overlook simple solutions like that, I catch myself doing it pretty often.
I needed this, but didn't even know what to search to find a tutorial haha
Thank you so much 😊

Thank you for the tutorial. After a few second later I started watching I remembered that we can use mask! Awesome, and it worked just fine, try it out with mask if you have no solid background.

That's great! I'm glad it helped.
Awesome Caleb! Greetings from Panama
in all honesty id love a tutorial for your taskbar! its so cool!
Thank you for such an open explanation of the program: keyboard combination and etc.!
Great tutorial. Thank you. But it only woks when I create a null object and parent both shapes to it. I'm using AE 2021
thank you for the quick and clear explanation
Your efforts, your work,can be seen in us.
Loved this tutorial, rigth to the point, if its too fast just pause. it's great.
Nice video. I was wondering how do you do this if you have to seperate text layers?
Two*
Precompose your text layers and swap them out inside of your pre-composition when the line fully covers the first text.
Thank you Caleb!
Thanks man, really helpful. I didn't understand what Alphamatting was but i get it now :)
Awesome!
Thx .Nice easy beginners guide. helped plenty!
Straight to the point, no wasting my time. perfect tut

Nice. Thanks a lot actually. It worked, you explained it well. Thank you
How did you make the White Line get squished into nothingness at the end like after it showed the text reveal
6:20
i appreciate the speed, I hate having to fast forward through non-essential stuff
Amazing crack, and the tutorial was perfect. I´m testing it right now
ooooh my godddd, i have done another way always and that was too much harder than this method. i used mask to do this ! i give a positon from left to right to my shape and then made that a pre compose and then by using mask , i hide that ! thank you so much for your help
If you're a complete beginner to soft production then soft is imo the easiest daw that you can get, I started off with it.. If you have a little bit
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Instant subscriber from this one, looking forward to learning from more of your tutorials! Thank you for a quick and painless magic trick :D
You went super fast at the most crucial moment: 4:07
Nice tutorial Micheal, great video to get us started. May you tell - how do I link two or more channels (in the rack channel) as to share the sa
The first video I've found wNice tutorialch makes production seem accessible, thanks!
Thank you! It worked! Love it!
What a video bro! Can't thank you enough! Thank you so much you made life so much easier!

Here's a tutorial I made on it: th-cam.com/video/T9Gku3RJ6OY/w-d-xo.html
3:54 How do you do the opposite of alpha matte? Let's say if I want to hide a shape in a specific area.
Semi new to AE so sorry if this is dumb, but is it possible to cover the text back up with the rectangle in the same animation? Reveal, and then cover again?
Reverse the animation
Thank you for this. Helped a lot in sections of my year 12 project.
Always thankful to get see free content and tutorials, but you didn`'t explain the first animation of the line before it goes down. Could someone tell me how to do that?
Fantastic Caleb! Love your delivery, style and content! Keep up the amazing work :)
how do we put this effects in sequence....mine is only working on 1st text....rest of the texts not accepting matte property
I literally don't have anytNice tutorialng to complain about, tNice tutorials tutorial is legit perfect!
It’s okay to feel that why. I felt like that sowhat at the beginning. Just use the love you have for making soft to overpower that feeling
Not sure why you didn't include instructions on the whole animated effect (e.g. the white line appearing and then disappearing).
I agree it would be nice to see an updated one in 2019
"I see this all the time , I'd thought I'd uncover it." PADUM TISS! Haha idk if that was intentional or not, but that was funny.
do you know how can I do this effect with 2 lines?
its like... one line at the middle split into 2 lines and each one of them moves in a different direction to make the text appear
Duplicate the line
videos on pretty much everytNice tutorialng. Feels like I can finally move forward with making soft.
Hey i really need help, i tried this but because my text layer is a photoshop file when i choose alpha it does not have the option to link it with the shape tool i dont know what to do?
Thanks for sharing this. It was exactly what I was looking for
Fast and simple. Great job.
Great tutorial! BUT what if I want to make the text disappear? Tried a couple of stuff, but I guess I never found the logic of doing that.
You'd just put the box back over the text, right? Like doing the motion I did in this tutorial, but in reverse.
