Why Your After Effects Text Looks Cheap (Do This Instead)
Most After Effects text looks “fine”… and that’s why it’s invisible. In this video I break down the exact order I use to make text look intentional - not default. We’ll build two styles from the same base: an aggressive toxic look and a clean premium look, using structure → depth → texture/polish → glow last. No fluff, no “just add glow” advice - a repeatable system you can use on any edit.
