By animating the range, you can have single letters fly onto the screen to form complete words, or make text appear on screen as if it were being typed. Our favorite new type feature, the Animation Range tool, lets you control the range of characters or words influenced by an effect. As with all features in After Effects, almost every parameter can be animated. You can click on a composition with the type tool and start typing directly into a new layer, or you can drag a box to define a text block’s boundaries. Type-creation tools in version 6.0 are like those in Illustrator they even give you control over kerning and other spacing. In previous versions, text creation and animation were appallingly poor, considering Adobe’s prowess in the typography world. The new type engine alone makes After Effects 6.0 a successful upgrade.
