user35756: This video I'm trying to recreate seems like an insanely time consuming process in after effects.  Is AE the right way to go about it?  Does anyone know of a process or tutorial that may help?  I'm new to video production so any sort of direction would be greatly appreciated.  Here is another similar type of video.  Generally speaking a VoiceOver text video.  Thanks!
