✅ VIDEO SUMMARY
To create the text outline animation what we'll be using is the Trim Paths animation property in Adobe After Effects. Start by creating a text object and applying a stroke, but not a fill. Next, right click on the layer in the Timeline panel, go to "Create" and then select "Create Shapes From Text". This will convert your text object into a vector path to which you can add the Trim Paths animator. You can create different effects by keyframing the start, end and offset properties in the animator! To add an animator to each individual character, simply duplicate the animator and place one within each path!
