Writing Text That Works in Motion
Animated typography works best when the words, timing and composition are planned together.

Introduction
Text in motion has to be read while the scene changes. Keep the message focused and plan how the words enter, hold and leave.
1. Write a Clear Line
Use direct words and a focused idea. The viewer should understand the line before the next movement begins.
2. Fit the Composition
Consider the frame, hierarchy and available space. Break lines around the meaning instead of squeezing them in.
3. Time the Message
Give each line a readable hold. Let the animation introduce the words without interrupting the reading.
4. Emphasize with Purpose
Use scale or movement to highlight a word that matters. Too many competing accents can weaken the message.
Final Thought
The words and movement should feel like one decision. I refine the text in the sequence so both serve the same idea.
