AE & Motion apprentice text + 3D spiral text

Chris and Trish Meyer have posted After Effects Apprentice Video Tutorial #4: Animating text in After Effects, which follows on #3 which introduced text in AE. In this video, they "show how to master Text Animators, including Range Selectors, the secret to creating cascading animations, and more."

This follows yesterday's meaty post by Trish Meyer, Animating Text in Apple’s Motion: A primer for After Effects artists.

Also, older but fun is text in a 3D spiral, pictured above, from 3D Type QuickTip by Ko Maruyama, which is reminiscent of a very old tutorial by Brian Maffitt.
