Friction has a text effect system to create procedural text animations.

• Create a text, add a text effect to it
• Change some text effect parameter to affect selected text (opacity for example)
• Enter point mode to be able to change diminish points to select text to affect
• Smooth text selection with upper diminish points to create a falloff
• Different kind of effect can be added to affect selected text, raster effect like blur, for example
• Diminish points can be animated

Do you know friction ? It is an awesome open source 2d animation software, early stage, which could replace after effect
