Blender is a very versatile animation editor, but at the time of writing there are no built-in tools for easy sequential / procedural animation for motion graphics or video titling, such as text building up letter by letter, or a range of objects moving in or out of the screen one by one.
Luckily, there are a number of add-ons that already facilitate this type of animation for motion graphics and moving infographics, turning Blender into an alternative to After Effects or Apple Motion.
Text FX is a free, user-friendly add-on by Code of Art that offers several options to procedurally animate text in Blender. Once installed, it can be found in the Sidebar (toggle with N key), where you can add a text in Simple or Advanced mode.
Micro Displacement Animations Are Mesmerizing
In Simple mode, Text FX offers text appearance effects such as a typewriter animation, a scrambled appearance of letters, and incremental digit animation.
Adding a text in Advanced mode offers options like wiggle animation, wave animation and the possibility to copy animation from an object, applied with a sequential offset to each letter.
Advanced mode automatically separates the letters of a text, and parents them to a controller. This isn't necessary when you use Simple mode.

Animax is a commercial add-on created by the developer of Text FX, and might be called Text FX on steroids. It allows you to procedurally and sequentially animate any group of Blender objects, in stead of only text.
Then you need to sort the group and choose an effect from a wide range of sequential animation effects, including explosions, spirals, wiggles and following a path.
Several timing and easing options are available to alter the motion, while everything remains procedural. No fiddling with a bunch of keyframes.

A Time value of the procedural animation can be keyframed. Then you can add an animation modifier like Noise to the Time value animation, or you can choose to convert all of the procedural animation to keyframes, for purposes like exporting the animation.
Other Animax tools include the option to divide a single object into fragments and animate those fragments, and it's even possible to morph a group of objects / parts into a different group of objects / parts.
If you haven't got the budget for Animax, you might like to check out Mikhail Rachinskiy's free Commotion add-on, which offers similar functionality for generating sequential animation, but doesn't offer the range of easy presets and some other options that come with Animax.
Blending With Blender: The Modeling Workspace
If you want to go beyond the possibilities of Animax and Commotion, for supercharged motion graphics, you might like to check out Sverchok and/or Animation Nodes. Both are free, powerful node-based procedural animation editors that require some studying before you can utilize the power.
Sverchok is created by independent developers, while Animation Nodes is developed by Blender's own Jacques Lucke, who is currently expanding it into Blender's Everything Nodes project, which will allow you to control just about everything in Blender using nodes.

Creating Sequential Animation In Blender With The Help Of Add Ons
Animation combines all the best elements of nostalgia, movement, and creativity; it’s a motion picture and video trend that never goes out of style. After entering the scene way back in the 1800s (yes, really!), animation has only grown in popularity over the last couple of centuries, particularly over the previous few decades. Now used everywhere from social media and marketing to app and web design, animation’s simplicity, effectiveness, and charm has made it a timeless medium for artists, communicators, and entertainers.
Animation is the fascinating art of making inanimate objects appear to move. It’s the creative method of photographing successive drawings, models, or even puppets, to create an illusion of movement in a sequence. While made famous by the world of entertainment, the animated style is also an effective tool for visual communication because it’s more eye-catching than simple static images, offering endless opportunities for expression and creativity.
The first animated film was hand-painted in 1888 by the French artist and inventor Charles-Émile Reynaud on his Praxinoscope. This invention eventually led to the development of the film camera.

During the early 1900s, artists from all over the world started experimenting with animation. By the 1930s, many influential film studios realized that they could make money from this little animated art form. Soon enough, Warner Bros launched Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, and Disney released Snow White and the Seven Dwarves – the first feature-length film made entirely of hand-drawn images.
Almost 100 years later, animation is still as popular as ever. While it’s a go-to medium in many blockbuster films, TV shows, and music videos, due to its newfound accessibility, creatives use animation in projects of all shapes and sizes.
