- How to Achieve Professional Scaling Text Reveal Animations in Filmora
Transcript
What is going on, guys? Welcome back to another video. In this tutorial, I will show you guys how to create this cool scaling text reveal animation inside of Filmora 13. This text animation is straightforward, and we don't need extra plugins to create it. 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 text. I go to the text and add the default title to the timeline like this.
After that, you can customize your text to what you like. Here, I type creative and use the "Montserrat black" font style. After that, we need to add two duplicates of this text layer. I took a copy of this layer and pasted it two times.
Tips to Enhance Your Videos with Scaling Text Reveal Animation
What you need to prepare:
- A computer (Windows or macOS)
- Your video materials.
- Filmora video editor
Set Up the Project
Open Filmora on your device. Create a new project with the desired resolution and frame rate. You can set the resolution to 1920 by 1080 pixels and the frame rate to 60 FPS. However, you can choose any resolution that suits your project needs.

Add and Customize the Text
Go to the text tool and add the default title to the timeline. You can also customize the text by typing your desired content. So, type something like "creative" and select a font style of your choice. In this case, we will use the "Montserrat black" font style.

Duplicate the Text Layer
Duplicate the text layer twice by copying and pasting it. It will create three identical text layers in the timeline.

Modify the Duplicated Text Layers
Change the colors of the duplicated text layers to differentiate them. Select the first duplicated layer and remove all the letters except the last one. For the second duplicated layer, remove the previous letter.

Customize the Original Text Layer
Change the color of the original text layer to your desired color. In this tutorial, we will change the color to red.

Animate the Last Letter
Hide the middle layer temporarily and select the layer containing the last letter. At the start, you can add a keyframe and adjust the rotation to -180 degrees and the scale to zero. Move forward to the first second and reset the scale. You should also modify the rotation to -90 degrees and increase the scale.

A few seconds later, change the rotation to zero, set the scale to 100%, and reset the position. Place the last letter on top of the original text layer by adjusting its position.

Adjust the Keyframe Graph
Open the keyframe panel and select only the scale keyframes. Apply the "Curve" graph preset to these keyframes to create a smooth animation.

Animate the Other Text Part
Unhide the second duplicated layer and select it in the timeline. Add a keyframe at the start, move the text layer off-screen, and set the opacity to zero. A few seconds later, reset the position and change the opacity back to 100%. Adjust the position of this layer to place it on top of the original text.

Adjust the Keyframe Graph for the Second Layer
In the keyframe panel, select the last position keyframe and apply the "Curve" graph preset. For the previous opacity keyframe, use the "Ease in" preset. You can now delete or hide the original text layer to complete the text animation.

Add the Background and Trail Effect
Import a background video from the stock media library and add it to the project. Create an adjustment layer and apply the "Radial Blur" effect from the video effects. You should adjust the settings by changing the phase increment value to 0 and the zoom rate to around 1.

Create a keyframe on the opacity of the adjustment layer at the start. You can set the opacity to zero at the end of the animation.

Review and Finalize
Review the completed scaling text animation with the trail effect. You can now export or share the video as desired.
