How to Make Flaming Text in After Effects
Adobe After Effects is a digital compositing program, part of Adobe's graphical manipulation Creative Suite. The program is mostly used for the production of digitally animated effects on 2D images, as well as video transcoding. It is also suitable for computer animation, due to an extensive keyframing and layers system built into the program. Creating flaming text is an example of generating animation in After Effects.
