Text Merge Effect

Is there a filter that will achieve this effect, or do I have to create a some layers and do it with keyframing?

Thanks everyone!

Yes, just make each version of the font a new layer and keyframe them to meet in the middle, which is just two keyframes per layer. Start with the final keyframe with the font in the final position (probably the very middle of the screen, where it appears when you've typed it) and then go back to the start of the clip and set a keyframe with the font dragged completely offscreen where you want it to come from. Done.
