How to Create a 3D Shiny Text Animation in Filmora?

What is going on, guys? You're joining with the second tutorial in our course series. In this tutorial, I'm going to be showing you guys how to create this cool 3D shiny text animation inside Filmora 13. This animation is straightforward to make. Let's jump into Filmora and get started.

Here, I use 1920 by 1080 resolution with 60 FPS. You can use any resolution you want here. First, we need to add a background. Go to the stock media and pick any light color you like. I selected this white color and added it to the timeline.

We need to add text. Go to the text and add the default title to the timeline. Go to the text settings, and I change the text color to Black. After that, you can type whatever you want here.

Here, I type motion, and I use the Gotham Ultra font style for this. I go to the transform and increase the scale like this. Our first text layer is complete, and we are going to use this one to create the 3D look, but we need another one. I take a copy of this and paste it right here. You can customize this whatever you like. I changed the color to yellow.

After that, I would like to add a stroke line to this text. Go to the advanced settings and enable the outline. Add any color you want, and I will change the outline thickness to 4, then press the apply button. Here, we have both our text layers.

Let's add an animation to our text layer. First, I select this layer and go to the animation, then select in and add this wavy appearance in animation to this. Change the duration to something like 1.5 seconds. After that, I add the same animation to our second text layer. Now, we have nice bouncy animation like this.

Now, we need to add the 3D look to this text. Let's see how to create that. First, I drag this top text layer to the fourth layer. We need to add an adjustment layer to add our effect. I add it like this. Let's add our effect.

Go to the effects tab, select Boris FX, select blur, then select this BCC radial blur and add it to this adjustment layer. Go to the effect settings and first change the blur type to smear. You can see it gives this kind of look.

We need to put this blur effect behind this text. You can change this blur amount to a minus value. I change it to something like -30. After that, go to the "mix with the original" setting, and you can adjust the sharp look using this setting. I bring it to -300.

We need to adjust the direction of this 3D look. Go to the center setting, and you can adjust the values you like. Here, I change X to 0.5 and Y to 0.2 like this. Here, we created our 3D text animation. Here's what it looks like.

If you need to change the color of this 3D look, select your second text layer, and you can change the text color to whatever you like. That's how we can change the color of this 3D look.

Next, I would like to add another 3D text layer to this animation. First, select all these layers and take a copy by pressing Ctrl + C.  We need to convert these to a compound clip. You can press alt+ G to create a compound clip. I named it Text 1 and hit okay. Now, we have our first 3D text.

Select this second layer and paste it here to our copied layers. After that, customize both your text layers like this. I select this adjustment layer and go to the blur settings to adjust this 3D look Direction. I change this "Y" value to something like 0.7 like this. Select all these layers and change them to a compound clip. I named it Text 2 and hit okay. Now, we have a second 3D text layer like this.

Now, we need to remove this white background for our second text layer. You can double-click this to go inside the compound clip, and then you can hide your background layer like this. I do the same thing for my other text layer. Go to the main timeline, and now you can see we have both text layers like this. You can adjust the position of these texts. I adjust them like this.

After that, we need to add background. First, I drag these layers to the upper layer, then go to the stock media, and you can add any color to your background. I use this yellow color as my background. Now, it looks like this, but you can see both text animations happen at the same time. I drag this text layer forward like this. Now, our 3D text animation looks like this. It looks perfect.

Now, we need to add the light sweep animation to this. Let's see how to create that. First, we need to add this white color layer. I add it to the timeline like this. Select this white layer and go to the mask, then I apply these parallel lines mask to this. I change the rotation to something like -6 and the line width to 12. After that, go to the compositing and change the blend mode to Overlay. Now, it looks like this.

We need to animate our light sweep layer. Go to the position, select the X position, and drag this layer to here. Go to the start of this layer and create the keyframe of position then go a few seconds forward and bring this to here like this. Open the keyframe panel and select this last keyframe, then right-click and add the curve preset to this. Now, it has this kind of curve. Let's see how it looks.

Now, it looks perfect, but we need to hide this unwanted area on this light sweep effect. We can hide that area by creating a text mask and putting it on top of our animation. Let's see how to make that text mask. First, add the exact color you added for your background, then take a copy of these layers and paste it right here.

Go to the end of the text animation. Go inside this compound clip and hide this text in the adjustment layer. Do the same thing for your second text layer. After that, our text layers look like this. Remove this background layer and take a snapshot like this. After that, delete these layers, as we don't need them again, and make sure to unhide them.

After that, select the color layer you added, go to the mask, and then click this import button to import our custom mask. Go to the Filmora snapshot folder and select the snapshot we took before. You can add a name to your mask. I keep it default. Here, we have our text mask. I select this mask.

We need to invert this mask. You can click this invert mask button. Now, you can see it is only visible inside of the text, but we lost our 3D look in our animation. Don't worry! You can fix that by simply changing the blend mode to darken. Our 3D shiny text animation is done. Here's the result.

That's how we can make awesome 3D shiny text animation inside of Filmora 13.
