Another very simple tutorial showing you how to achieve this really slick reverse metal shatter effect using some of Andrew Kramer's methods with a twist of my own settings. For this tutorial, you're going to need a metal texture to use for the text, here are some textures:

Try to find royalty free ones or stock images. Most of them should be stock and free to use, if you're unsure, ask the author!

Hey great tutorial, but at 06:08 you say "move the time indicator to about 7 seconds". I can move it to 7 seconds but my text is gone :( how to fix this?
