Ae Type Animators are a really effective way to animate complex type block easily. One can say that there are two really amazing tools in After Effects that also happened to be burdened by the ability to access them quickly. I speak of course about vector shape layers and the type system in Ae.
TypeGEMs is a brand new effect that finally brings a user-interface to Adobe After Effects’ Type Tool
TypeGEMs and TypeGEMsRT aims to make type animation quicker in After Effects, by bringing the most important elements of the Ae type animators to the forefront.
TypeGEMs offers a comprehensive user interface and workflow ideology to type animation in After Effects. TypeGEMs is designed to work with animating type in three different stages. The user interface breaks down into the transition in stage, the stable state, and then the transition out stage.
This modular approach allows you to create and edit text selection and animation properties at any time, without loosing their previous settings.
TypeGEMs has some added features that include a built-in Inertial Bounce Module as well as a fully loaded Random Factory Module. TypeGEMs really makes creating Text Animations easy.
TypeGEMsRT is the ray-tracing version of TypeGEMs. It includes all of the text selection and animation features in TypeGEMs along with added ray-tracing features. This will allow you to build 3D ray-traced text animations using the TypeGEMs ideology.
