Text presets for After Effects
42 text animations made with Flexile’s Text Animator, from a one-line fade to stacked keyframe groups. Point at a clip to play it, copy the preset, and paste it onto any text layer in the Flexile panel. Every clip is rendered in After Effects from exactly what the Copy button gives you.
Featured builds
Three-Line Build
Seven groups on one layer: the letters rise in, line one punches, line two swings, line three stretches and turns purple, a ripple runs through all three, and everything drops out.

How to paste a preset
You need Flexile in After Effects 2025 or newer. The installation guide takes a few minutes; Flexile is free during the beta.
Copy a preset
Copy preset puts the preset on your clipboard: a short block of JSON in the format the panel copies out itself.
Paste it in the Text panel
In After Effects, select one or more text layers. On Flexile’s Text page, click the options button at the bottom right, choose Paste from clipboard, paste into the field and click Save.
Make it yours
Every group lands on the layer as Flexile effects (Flexile Text IN, Flexile Position IN and so on). Change Time, Offset, the Power keyframes or any value in Effect Controls, or keep editing from the panel.
Essentials
One In and one Out. A few effects, a Time and an Offset: that is the whole recipe. Swipe for more.
Flow and structure
Letter Flow, Based On words or lines, per-character 3D and Line Spacing change who moves first and how. Swipe for more.
What keyframe groups add
In animates every letter from the effect values to rest, starting at the layer’s in point. Out does the reverse and ends at the out point. Both are timed by Time, Offset and Letter Flow.
A keyframe group is a third kind, and a layer can have as many as you like, each with its own name and effects. Its Power slider says how much of those effects is applied: 100 is all of it, 0 none, and a negative value pushes the other way. You keyframe Power, and Offset replays that curve a few frames later on each letter, so one pulse becomes a wave that travels through the word.
That is how the next 21 presets put motion in the middle of a shot: hops, shakes, colour sweeps, loops, and exits of their own, mixed with an In and an Out on the same layer.
Ripple Jump, group JUMP: Position 0, −80
Keyframe groups
A Power curve you keyframe, replayed letter by letter. Motion in the middle of the shot, not only at the ends. Swipe for more.
Stacked builds
Several keyframe groups on one layer with an In and an Out, each with its own timing and flow. Swipe for more.
Good to know
- Pasting sets the layer to the preset’s length. Drag the layer’s end to make it longer: In starts at the layer’s in point, Out ends at its out point, and keyframe groups keep their keyframes relative to the layer’s start.
- Offset is counted in frames per character (or per word or line), so a longer text takes longer to run through.
- Colours are the purple from the clips. Change them in the Fill Color or Stroke Color effect. Outline Pulse needs a stroke on the text to show.
- The previews use our sample words and fonts; your font, size and text change the look, not the timing. Three-Line Build expects three lines: its line groups pick line 1, 2 and 3 by Letter Flow.
- On the Beat is keyed to the song in its clip. Subtitle Pop goes on the style layer before Flexile makes the subtitles.
