Creating a Shattering Text or Image Animation Using After Effects

If you don't want to make this yourself, you can find the easy-to-use template here.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a shattering text or image animation using Adobe After Effects. Follow these steps to achieve the desired effect.

First, create a new full HD composition. Next, create and pre-compose a new solid layer to serve as a guide. Move all your attributes to your composition. Use the pen tool to draw the shattering pattern. Experiment with different settings, but ensure it still looks realistic. Mask your pattern, expand your masks, and adjust the spacing.

Use this as a reference and go to your layer, then click on auto trace. To visualize what is supposed to happen in this animation and learn how to create your own, watch this video and follow along.
