The best part of it: All of this is done with effects on the text layer itself and is so easy that it
does not even require expressions.
Learn in just two minutes how to create motion graphics templates (mogrts) in Adobe After Effects for Adobe Premiere Pro. These templates are After Effects projects whose texts can be edited inside Premiere Pro. They are great for customizable titles and lower thirds, for example.
