Smooth

To make adjustments, first, highlight the text

Then go here

I'll set the size to 150

Now we can switch back to the Transform tool

DRAG UNTIL APPEAR CENTERED

To remove distractions,

click on the green pen icon on top

then disable overlay

To start animating, go to the top right

Beside Animators, click Add Animator

Then select, Position

You can drag this border to see the property better

In this example, let's make the text bounce upwards

So, increase the vertical position

By clicking and dragging the right-hand value, to the right

You can also hold Shift on your keyboard to change the numbers faster

I'll set it to 300

Next, we adjust the Range

Set the Offset value to be -100

To mark it as the start, click the box on the right,

then click the diamond on top

Then go back to Range, and set the offset to 100

Next, set the Shape to Ramp Down

And change the Easing to Custom Cubic

Then set Ease High to 1

Now we're going to duplicate Animator 1, so select it, and press Ctrl+D

Animator 2 will appear with the same settings

Although there is this glitch where Autograph adds another property, we can ignore it

Then change its position to be halfway in the opposite direction, so, -150

We can click this arrow to see the Range

then change both Ease High and Low to 0.5

Now we're going to duplicate it once again

This time I'll change the position to 30

Finally, let's make one more animator, this time choose Opacity

Set it to 0

Then open up Range,

Mark the Start at 100 then drag the playhead back, and set it to 0

Now if we click on the text layer, and press U on the keyboard, we can see all the markings, or keyframes 

For animator 2 and 3, let's move them a bit so the motion will build on each other

I'll move them by 4 frames each

As for the opacity, I'll move the end to half a second

And now we have a bouncy text animation, for free

To align it to the centre 

Start with how the final result looks like

Today we will be making a smooth text animation in Autograph, a free After Effects alternative

Then cut to already composition ready

Click on text tool

Start writing a sample text
