Two words made of the same letters trade places: each letterform travels to its new position and reshapes on the way, so one phrase becomes the other without a cut.

Frequently asked
What is the Tracking Expand animation?
Letters drift together from wide spacing while fading in, the signature look of luxury and fashion brands. It belongs to the Text Animations category on velements, where you edit it in the browser and download it as a finished video file.
What can you customize in Tracking Expand?
Every control in the editor, grouped the same way there. Content: text. Typography: font, weight, size, letter spacing, line height and align. Style: background and text color. Layout: aspect ratio. Motion: duration and easing. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
How long is Tracking Expand?
Tracking Expand runs 2 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 15 seconds before you export. It plays once from start to finish, so it drops straight onto a cut or an opening.
Can you download Tracking Expand with a transparent background?
Yes. Set the background to Transparent, then export a PNG sequence for Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or Figma: import the first frame as an image sequence and it drops onto a track above your footage with a straight alpha channel. Export WebM with a VP9 alpha channel for the web and for CapCut. MP4 has no alpha channel, so it keeps a solid color or image behind the animation.
Can you use Tracking Expand in commercial projects?
Yes. Each download comes with a perpetual commercial license in your name for client work, ads and products, and you may sell the edited clip on stock footage sites. Reselling the preset itself as an editable template is not allowed.
