Cutout Phrase Text Transition with Hollow Border and Slit After Effects Template

A white panel with an outlined box phrase cut out of the footage sweeps in, a vertical slit opens and reveals the next shot. The text cutout look lets your footage play through the letters, a trendy effect for vlogs, promos and fashion edits. It is a stylish way to connect two clips with a title in the middle, great for YouTube videos, promos, showreels and presentations. Demo footage is only there to show the motion, so the transition fits whatever clips you drop in. Type is set in Protest Strike, free on Google Fonts; the font guide links to it.

Double-click the .aet file and After Effects 2023 or later opens an untitled copy, so the original stays safe. The text field lives in the EDIT composition, and the CONTROL PANEL layer holds 2 color controls for text, shapes and background. The preview footage is for demonstration only; place your own clip under the title layers. It runs at 60 fps for about 5 seconds in 1920x1080. No plugins are needed; the download includes the Typoanim PDF tutorial and a font guide.
