TextExploder
Split one text layer into many — instantly.
What TextExploder does
TextExploder — split text for effortless animation
TextExploder breaks a single text layer into separate lines, words or characters — each as its own fully editable text layer. It is the essential first step for any staggered or sequenced typography animation in After Effects.
Animate text the flexible way
After Effects text animators are powerful but limiting. By exploding your text into real layers, you gain complete freedom to offset timing, apply different effects per word, and build complex kinetic typography with ease.
Great for
- Staggered word and letter reveals.
- Kinetic typography and lyric videos.
- Per-word or per-letter effects and rigs.
