Preview of the Text Transform effect

Moves, scales, turns, fades and tints letters, words or lines inside a range. Anchor sets whether scaling and rotation use each component or the center of the layer. Move the range with Offset to make the change travel through the text.

Text Transform moves, scales, turns, fades and tints letters, words or lines. Set what should happen to the affected pieces (Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity, Tint), then animate Offset to make the change travel through the text from start to end. The presets Wave and Spin Cascade are good starting points.
