TYPE-O-MATIC is an After Effects animation tool for motion graphic designers developed by Hamo Studio. It is a project file for Adobe After Effects that gives you the power to animate any font in a few simple steps.

TYPE-O-MATIC offers three different ways for creating easy, quick, and customizable type animation – The Controller, Masked, and Unfold.

  1. The Controller: By animating the solid Controller_xx in the “Controller_xx” composition, all solid’s transformations properties are applied to all characters in the “alphabet” composition.
  2. Masked: By creating animation in the composition “modify_this_Mask” you’ll be creating a mask animation applied to all characters in the “alphabet” composition.
  3. Unfold: Moving the keyframe in the “alphabet” composition you’ll be modifying the unfold type velocity.
