Depth of Field Text Animation

Move attention between phrases at different depths for a reflective opener, motivational sequence or editorial statement. Rack-focus and travelling looks use blur to separate the reading plane.

Editing tip

Put one short phrase on each line. Give the focused words enough time to register and inspect the last phrase to make sure your cut ends on the intended message.

How to make it

  1. Replace the sample content using the controls above. Add your media where the scene supports it.
  2. Set the colors, motion and output format. Scrub the preview to check the timing.
  3. Export the animation and place the downloaded clip in your editing timeline.
