Create an Auto-Resizing Text Box for Adobe After Effects & Premiere

Learn how to create a reusable text box in After Effects that automatically resizes to fit your text.

Plus, make the box animate either by following the text or by moving independently.

Once you’ve built this auto-resizing text box, you’ll learn how to save it as an After Effects preset, so you can reuse it across projects without starting from scratch.

You’ll also learn how to turn it into a motion graphics template (.mogrt), so you can easily customize it in After Effects or Premiere Pro.

Who this class is for:

This class is perfect for motion designers or video editors who are comfortable with the basics of After Effects. If you’re new to After Effects, I recommend starting with one of my beginner classes first.

You’ll need After Effects version 14.2 (released in 2017), or newer, in order to make .mogrts.

Short on time? Purchase a premade auto-resizing text box!

Throughout this class, I’ll explain the ‘what’ and ‘why’ behind making this text box, so you’ll have a solid understanding of how it works. However, if you’re short on time, you can instead purchase a premade auto-resizing text box that’s all ready to use, no set-up required. Two After Effects presets and two .mogrts for Premiere are included and they have a few additional features not covered in class. Purchase here.
