We need to add text. Go to the text, and I will add the default title to the timeline. I customize my text layer like this. I go to the advanced settings and add gradient color to my text. I add it like this, then I change the angle to 30, and after that, click the apply button.

Step 1
Create the Message Icon

Step 2
Transform the Text into a Message Icon

To transform the text into a message icon, go to the effects tab and search for the "shape mask" effect. Add it to the timeline. Now, open the effect settings and adjust the width and height as desired.

You can also modify the radius to your preference. Center the text layer by moving it slightly upward. Select the background layer and reduce its scale to create a message icon appearance.

Step 3
Animate the Text Layer

To animate the text layer, select it and navigate to the animation tab. Apply a suitable animation effect and change the duration to 1 second. It will give you the message icon.

Step 4
Create a Compound Clip and Add a Background

Select all the layers involved in the message icon creation and create a compound clip. You can give it any name, like Text Box 1. Drag this compound clip to the second layer of the timeline. Next, go to the stock media and select a white or any other color for the background layer. Adjust the position of this background layer as desired.

Step 5
Add More Message Boxes

To add more message boxes, go into the Text Box 1 compound clip and copy all the layers inside. Return to the main timeline and paste the copied layers. It will help you create a new compound clip from these pasted layers. You can name it Text Box 2.

Open the Text Box 2 compound clip and customize its elements. You can change the background layer animation to reverse or adjust the font size. Repeat this process to add additional message boxes as needed.

Step 6
Create the Pop-Up Animation

Start by selecting all the message box layers and reducing their scale to a specific value. Let's say 70%. Select one layer and create a keyframe for that position. You can repeat this method for all other layers.

Go to the start of the timeline and adjust the positions of all layers. It will create the desired initial positioning.

Step 7
Add Rotation to the Pop-Up Animation

While still at the start of the timeline, create keyframes for the rotation of each layer. Adjust the rotation values for each layer. You can give positive and negative values to create a staggered rotation effect. This step adds rotation to the pop-up animation.

Step 8
Incorporate Scale Animation

You must add keyframes for the scale property of all layers. Go to the start of the timeline and set the scale of all layers to zero. Now, open the keyframe panel! Once there, select all the keyframes and apply the "continuous curve" preset. It will help smoothen the animation. Repeat this process for all layers to achieve a smooth pop-up effect with scale animation.

Step 9
Adjust Layer Timing

Select a point on the timeline and drag the second message box layer to align with that point. Repeat this process for the third message box layer. You can position it at a different point on the timeline. This step ensures proper timing for the pop-up animation sequence.

Step 10
Create the Movement Animation

Select all the message box layers and create a new compound clip. You can give any name, like "Animation." At a specific point on the timeline, increase the scale of this compound clip to around 200%. You can reposition it to the center of the frame.

Create keyframes for the position and scale properties. Move forward on the timeline and decrease the scale to 120% while adjusting the position. Drag the scale keyframe to align with the position keyframe. This step completes the movement animation.

Step 11
Add a Drop Shadow Effect

You can also soften the visual appeal of the animation. A drop shadow effect can make your video look professional. Adjust the angle to 150 degrees, set the shadow color to black, and modify the opacity to around 60%. It will add a stylish drop shadow to the message pop-up animation.
