Create a rotating text wheel in Filmora
FilmoraDemo summary
The creator demonstrates how to set up a background, create a compound clip with shapes, and use the title section to arrange text in a circular pattern by duplicating layers and adjusting rotation values.
Step-by-step
- Set the background duration to 6 seconds and move the playhead to 1 second.
- Drag a shape onto the timeline, right-click it, and select Create Compound Clip.
- Right-click the compound clip and select Edit Timeline.
- Drag a Default Title from the Title section and enter your text.
- Enable Shape in the title settings, select the first preset, and set the animation duration to zero.
- Adjust the Strength slider to curve the text into the desired circular arc.
- Duplicate the text layer using the Alt key, update the text content, and increase the Rotation by 45 degrees for each new layer.
Options
- Use different shapes such as a hexagon or a circle for the base.
- Adjust the background duration to your preference.
Tips
- Set the text animation duration to zero to keep the wheel static during the setup.
- Use the Strength slider specifically to control the curve of the text.
- Add exactly 45 degrees to the rotation value for each subsequent layer to maintain a consistent circular pattern.
Highlights
“This is the very simple way to understand the concept.”
