Writing Text with Bleeding Ink (Wisp / After Effects Tutorial)
Channel: Creation Effects
Date: 2019-08-07

This tutorial shows how to quickly write out text with ink that's spreading or bleeding on the paper, using the "Wisp" template for After Effects, from Creation Effects: https://creationeffects.com/wisp. 
This effect lets you reveal text or make custom lines with ink bleeds, using particles that follow a path. The "Wisp" template lets you create trails of particles that move along any motion path. The particles can resemble fire, smoke, liquid, sparks, lightning, glitter, bubbles, sparkles, ink, and much more. The wisps can follow any moving layer, and you can customize them with easy-to-use controls.
Animations that are normally difficult and time-consuming are now simple to create in After Effects – like making lightning follow a complex path, writing out text with bleeding ink, or creating a thickening 3D vine. Designed to be flexible and customizable, this tool is certain to help bring your motion graphics and title animations to the next level.
