I have been using After Effects to practice editing for our news report ticker. We haven't completely decided on the colours, font and what we will put in the text, but I now know how to position the ticker bar so that the text comes with it, as it glides onto the screen. Last year, I really struggled using After Effects, but with the guidance from some YouTube tutorials of 'How to make a ticker', I'm getting the hang of how to use the programme.
