Author Notes

In this After Effects tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a fluid and luminous typographic animation using Pastiche, Newton, and a custom expression.

00:00 Build a full animation using Pastiche, adjusting its parameters to create smoothness and rhythm

04:58 Use Newton to quickly generate an alternative version of the same animation with different timing, using AEmatic objects to give it a more floating and reactive behavior

06:57 Automatically generate connecting lines between both animation states using a simple expression

09:30 Add a glowing visual effect using Deep Glow (or After Effects’ native Glow effect)

The entire project is done entirely in After Effects. I’ll also introduce a few additional tools to help speed up your workflow.
