Hi, I like your Item and I’m interested in buying it, before I’ve a question. Is there an option for the arabic language and if not are you planning to adding it or you can show me how to make one by my own, thank you.
Hi, right now the Arabic language isn’t available, only left to right languages are currently supported. I’m working on an update which will also include support for right to left languages, but it will take a while.
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reply me and working on right to left languages please let me know when you’ll finish it, I’ll be happy to buy this Item.
Thanks again.
Can we use your emoji pack with this?
Hi! Yes, you can use animated emojis inside a Photo.Message. In my tutorial I showed how you can use animated emoji with this item. See 9:28
Hi, Congratulations!! A great job. How can I make a single word BOLD in a message? And how can I COLOR a single word differently from the rest of the sentence? Thanks
Hi! Thanks. If you aren’t using features like names in a group chat or 3-dots animation on an incoming message, then you can just disable the expression on the “Source Text” property, and then disable the “Color” animator of the message. After that you’ll be able to change the style for the parts of the message text.
If you need those features though, then it’s going to be a bit more tricky. Write me an email in this case: denis.quis@gmail.com
Great item, really awesome work!
Question, how can you add an avatar and name on the right side as well? For outgoing message?
Hello Adrian, thanks! This item copies the way real messengers work, so by default only incoming messages have avatars and names. You can attach them to outgoing messages too, but you’ll have to do it manually.
First, select an outgoing message and adjust its position with the “Adjust Distance” effect, then place the name and avatar layers next to the message and parent them to it. After that the name and avatar will stay attached to that message.
Awesome. Thank you for the response!
How do I show only the textbox and not the whole keyboard?
Hi! 1. Select the keyboard. 2. Drag the keyboard down with the “Adjust Position” effect. 3. Uncheck the “Type Effect” checkbox to disable type effect.
Hi. Was wondering if the project supports right to left languages (like hebrew/arabic)?
Hi! No, the project only works with left to right languages.
Hi. Thank you for the good file. I have a question. The current project is for letters to go up to the top. Can you start from the bottom?
Hi! Yes, you can do that. Select the “Global Controller” layer, increase the Y-value of Global Position(make it 1500px or more) and your messages will stay at the bottom.

Hi. Can I add Korean on the keyboard?
Hi! Unfortunately, the Korean keyboard isn’t available.
I want to buy your project file! But have two queries 1. Are you covering incoming message notification and 2. What is the max number of messages you can animate?
Hi AnupDas! 1. Notifications are not included. This project is for messages only. 2. There is no limit on the number of messages. You can create as many as you want.

Where are the sounds for the messages u used?
Hi! Link to download them is included in the help file.
How do I insert the username inside of the text box and not above?
There is a way to add username to the Incoming message? I need to create a group messaging with usernames for everyone.. Thanks
Hi ohpro! Replied to you in the mail.
Hi there,
Looks promising so far.
The only issue I am having is that the typing emulation doesn’t seem to be displaying properly. The only way I can describe it is that the sides are cut off the animation.
Please can you help me fix this?
Thanks,
Jack
Hi Franklygib!
Send me a screenshot of the issue to my email: denis.quis@gmail.com And I will sure tell you what causes it.
Thanks.
Hey, Thanks a lot for this! works great. was wondering How do I add a name to a photo message in whatsapp… doesn’t seem to be working
Hi Elireo!
You just need to go inside the “Message.Photo” composition, select the “Message” layer and press Enter to edit its name. Then you need type the person’s name in brackets.
For example: Message(Jerry)
This should work!

The project is beautiful, good work… however, trying to move a 1 minute video takes forever, not to mention the render. I just gave up on it, seems impossible.
Hello, Sabrosinho! I’m sorry you had this experience with the item. I understand that render time of this project may be long and sometimes even frustrating. Especially if you have a lot of messages. I hope I can explain why this happens.
This project is built on Ae expressions. Expressions make it possible for this project to be flexible and reduce user’s handwork to almost zero. But they have one major flaw: they don’t work as fast as we all want them to. If we could get all that flexibility, automation and fast render times, that would be an ideal situation, but you always have to sacrifice something.
I believe that slow render time can be compensated by the hard work of expressions, that automatically create many little animations for you. Because it’s still going to be much faster and easier than animating it manually.
However, if you couldn’t finish working with the project because of the slow rendering, you can request a refund, I will approve it.
Have a great day

Hey man,
No worries, I completely understand. I finally managed to finish A 5 MINUTES VIDEO!!! But yeah, took forever and had to work on the minimum resolution and always on draft mode. However, there you have my 5 stars.
If somebody is reading this, please, don’t take my first message as anything bad, it was just frustrating to work slower then usual, but the results that this template gives you are freaking good.
Thanks!
Thanks for the 5 stars, man!
Yeah, every new message adds that extra weight to the render. And it must’ve been a huge conversation in your 5 minutes video. But I’m glad that the result was worth the wait.
Many thanks, 
Quis.
hey there! I just purchased this project, but I need the texts to be in Hebrew, so 3 questions: 1. hebrew is written right-to-left – will this cause a problem? question 2: can i switch the sides in which the msgs pop up on screen (coz the person who is actually holding the phone will have their msg appear on the left side here) and question number 3: can u add a hebrew keyboard in the future? would be awesome.
Hello! The project only partially supports languages that are written right-to-left. Here are the answers: 1. You can write messages in Hebrew, if you switch the After Effects text engine to “South Asian and Middle Eastern”. Messages will be written from right to left, but keyboard text field will remain left-to-right. Tell me if you need instructions for this, I’ll gladly help.
2. No it’s not possible at the moment. I will see if I can add it in the future.
3. Sure, I will add it to the list.
hi bro thank you for your good work can i ask if i would like to add arabic keyboarder
Hi! I am thinking of adding new keyboards in the future, including Arabic.
There are two Arabic keyboards on an iPhone: Arabic and Arabic(PC). Which one would you like to see?
thank you for replay and i’m so happy about arabic or arabic(PC) both ok
Hello, will the message make sound? for example sending a message will play the messenger sound?
Hello. It won’t, the project doesn’t generate sound.
You can add sounds manually. The help file has a link to all the sounds used in the preview. The Messenger sound is there as well.
can this support emoji keyboard animation?
No, the keyboard only works with text.
Hi there, I bought it. But when I copy and past a message it doesnt come with the color box behind. Just appear the text. How can I copy and past with the color box like your tutorial?
Hi! Try pressing Ctrl+D/Cmd+D on your keyboard. This will duplicate the layer.
Hi There! Thank you its really work. Perfect!!!!
How do you change the composition settings to a 16:9 ratio?
Hello! You need go to Composition -> Composition Settings and change the resolution to a 16:9. With this ratio, you’ll probably want to turn off the keyboard and the navigation bar. Hide them by clicking on the “eye” icon.
Is there a type-emoji support somehow possible?
Hello! Unfortunately, After Effects doesn’t support emoji as symbols on text layers. What you can do is import emoji as images and then parent them to a message layer, like I did it in the tutorial(timecode 04:05).
