Design Rhythmic Motion Typography in After Effects
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to create animated typography synchronized with musical events (lyrics). You’ll learn how to fit your typography to a rhythm, add dynamic animations and use the camera and motion blur to create a high-end final effect. This tutorial showcases a technique that is highly sought after in motion graphics today.
We love to see what you do with the techniques taught at AETUTS. We encourage you to create your own motion typography videos in this style and post a link to your video in the comments below. Most of all, we hope you enjoy the tut!

Please note: this video contains some swearing in the track ‘Bleed It Out’ by Linkin Park, which is used as the musical source. The tutorial will demonstrate how to create animated typography for the lines ‘Here we go for the hundredth time / Hand grenade pins in every line’. The effects in the rest of the video can be created with the same techniques shown in the tutorial.

omg. Behold all the comments… this Tut has generated a massive response, I love it.
Also, it is doing so much good for the world, helping a trendy art-form reach more people. I know I for one have been on the lookout for a tut like this for quite some time, and this was the most straightforward and easy to understand one for me.
Rock on Markus, thanks so much!
THanks for this tutorial…:)
I really liked this tutorial, did one of a 30 sec part of falling down by atreyu…except i used flash, and for the camera part i scripted my own… i honestly prefer working in flash even though there are much better programs… too stuborn to change to another xD… but either way, this was amazing. thanks.

Amazing!! You know i’ve got to learn how to do it because i’m stufying graphic design and this year I have to course “Typography” (level 2) which ends with a practical work of “Type motion” (that’s how we call this kind of work..).. just as the designers of MK12.. A wonderfull gruop of designers (whom I admire!)

many thanks. and your tuts is more than awesome.
YOU’RE THE MAN! GREAT TUTORIAL
I am SERIOUSLY hating this new lay-out, cause it makes no sense at all on both AEtuts and PSDtuts. Old tutorials keep popping up on the mainpage, and i dont see any new content.
But in this case, that’s a good thing. Because I never saw this tutorial, and it’s absolutely fantastic. Great work.
really great tutorial… you should see this guy’s motion typography work… its insane! (really inspiring too)
