Rotating individual text on a Y Axis
by Samuel Pena on Jul 5, 2008 at 7:38:54 am

Dispite working with Adobe Produces for sometime; I'm still not all that familiar with After Effects. Please help me with this one. Is making rotating individual text on a Y Axis possible with out a plugin? And, if not... what would be the best plugin for the job.

Help. I need this for a school project.

I think you have to make it 3d for that. (Check/Mark the cube)

In the newest version, CS3, no problem, methinks, look for a preset in the help files, like this one;

Or in the older versions, put each letter on it's own layer, make it 3D then animate the Y rotation.

In case you talking lots of text, here is a handy script for converting text to individual letters:

crg_Text_from_File.jsx

just drop the jsx file into your scripts folder, fire up AE, then File>Run Script>Text to File and follow the instructions.

Or...

Make the text, add the Effect Card Dance, a little trick to space it right, then animate the y axis.
