TYPE-O-MATIC is a project file for After Effects that gives you power to animate any font in a few steps.

The Controller

By animating the solid Controller_xx in the “Controller_xx” composition, all solid’s transformations properties are applied to all characters in “alphabet” composition.

Masked

Creating an animation in the composition “modify_this_Mask” you’ll be creating a mask animation applied to all characters in the “alphabet” composition.

Unfold

Moving the keyframe in the “alphabet” composition you’ll be modifying the unfold type velocity.
