ABOUT VIDEO:
In this video, I'm going to show you how you can create custom text bubble animations inside After Effects. What's really nice is that these text bubbles I'm going to show you are reactive as well. So they will react to however long you make the text inside After Effects. If you want an easy template to use inside Premiere Pro, I did make a MOGRT file template that you can download if you are a member of my Patreon.
