Breaking down a complex After Effects animation that uses both LayerMonkey and TypeMonkey Orrin Zucker shows a few different techniques you can employ to use both of the Monkey products together, and more importantly, why you would want to use both.

This tutorial shows how to use both LayerMonkey and TypeMonkey together

LayerMonkey for After Effects can build complex animation for kinetic layouts using layers in your After Effects composition, that can be based on parameters that are entered into the controls. TypeMonkey for After Effects, although similar, is designated as a custom built kinetic type generator, making it simple to animate type and type layouts by entering your text into the text box and have TypeMonkey generate everything easily.
