: How to make this saturated text effect? This is a popular effect on YouTube. Anyone know how to do it

@Lengel450

First add the text you want
Then add an adjustment layer between the text and your footage
Apply the contrast and brightness effect to the adjustement layer and turn the brightness down
Then on the adjustment layer adjust the alpha matte drop down box so that the whole clip is dark apart from where the text is

I don't know if it works like Photoshop but it should, anyway, you have to "play" with the text layer blending mode until you find the right one to produce that kind of effect. You could try "Overlay" or "Vivid Light" which should give you that result.

You can also visit the Adobe support page if you want more information about blending modes in After Effects. Heres the link:
