Check out my new course After Effects Insider: https://som.bz/eran
In this tutorial, I’ll show how to turn boring titles into beautiful typography using alternative glyphs in Illustrator, then bring them to life in After Effects.

We’ll explore how to:
• Find and apply alternate glyphs to elevate your design
• Animate your text using a few AI engines
• Prep and composite the result back in After Effects
• Add real depth with 3D extrusion and lighting using the Advanced 3D Renderer

It’s a mix of smart typography, AI experiments, and old-school motion design tricks, all packed into one neat tutorial.
