Exploding, Twisting Tex - Tutorial
Start with creating a new black solid. This will be our background. Then create a new text. You can type in whatever you want. Scale and position your text to your likings. Also set the anchor point to the middle by using the pan from behind tool.
Apply CC Ball Action to your text. Set the grid spacing to 1 and ball size to 66. Scale up your textso you can see it clearly.
Set your Time Indicator to 1 second. Then add keyframes for the Shatter, Twist Angle and Ball Size. Set the twist property to Diamond. Jump forwards 2 seconds and set the Twist Angle to 4x. Go to the 2 second mark and add a keyframe for the Ball Size. Then go to the 4 second mark and set the Ball Size to 30. Go to the 2 second mark and add a keyframe for the Scatter. Then go to the 4 second mark and set the scatter to 100. Then go to the start of your composition and set a keyframe for the Scatter. Then go to the next Scatter-keyframe and set it to 1,1. Go to the 2 second mark and set the Scatter to 1,1. Then take the first Twist Angle keyframe and hit F9 to make it smooth. Go to the 4 second mark and set the Twist Angle to 4x180. Also select the keyframe before it and hit F9. Go to the 4 second mark and drag the Ball Size keyframe with 30 to the 3 second mark. Then go to the 4 second mark and set the Ball Size to 0.
