Sphere Text Animation Maker
A title wrapped around a globe that slowly rocks in place, for travel films, recaps, and chapter cards.
How to Create a Globe Text Animation for Your Videos
Text wrapped around a globe is a distinctive look often seen in travel films, opening titles and chapter cards. The words follow the curve of a sphere, giving the impression that they're sitting on the surface of a slowly moving world.
TypeFlow's Sphere Text template lets you create this effect directly in your browser. Add up to four lines of text, with a maximum of 18 characters per line. Choose between handwritten and cleaner typefaces, then adjust the curve to get the look you want.
Customising the Text and Motion
You can fine-tune the font size, weight, letter spacing and line spacing to get your text looking right. The curve radius controls how closely the letters follow the shape of the globe.
The animation itself is a gentle rocking motion, which you can adjust horizontally and vertically. You can also control how long the animation holds. Rather than a full rotation, the globe rocks gently in place.
Sphere Text is available on the Free plan, which includes three exports at 720p. Creator adds unlimited 1080p exports and transparent MOV, while Studio supports exports up to 4K at 60 fps.
