How to Make Bouncy Text in After Effects (Puppet Tool + Inertia Expression)

Want to add a bit more life to your typography? In this quick After Effects tutorial, I’ll show you how to make your text feel bouncy and full of character using the Puppet Tool and a simple inertia expression.

This technique is great for adding personality and energy to titles, lower thirds, or any kind of animated typography. Whether you're working on a client project or just experimenting, this is a solid trick to have in your toolkit.

I’ve used this same method across motion jobs in corporate, broadcast, and film. It’s a simple way to give text that satisfying “boing” without diving into complex rigs.
