In this video I show how to create a smoke text animation in After Effects and set it up as a reusable preset. The setup automatically adapts to any text or font size, so you can reuse it in different projects without rebuilding the animation. Everything is control-based, making it easy to adjust distortion, blur and colors to create different variations.
What is covered in the video:
• Creating a smoke text animation using particles
• Making the emitter automatically match the text size
• Control-based setup for distortion, blur and animation speed
• Customizable smoke colors and visual variations
