  sequenced text animation

  Posted by Stef Prein on June 16, 2010 at 5:15 pm

  Hi,

  I’m trying to create a sequenced text animation with the text animator in AE. The idea is that all lines animate in an sequential order. Starting with the top line and ending with the bottom line. The lines rotate back and forth a few times. Here’s an example.
  The problem is that the animation starts per line, but all lines end at the same time. How can I make them start after each other and end after each other?

  Thanks a lot in advance!

  Delve deep into the world of AE’s text animators. (Check the link at the bottom of the page I linked for some really cool stuff.)

  Thanks a lot for your replies! I think I know enough for now. I hoped there would be an “easy” solution in text animation, but I guess there isn’t any. Well, I’ll just start animating like crazy then 😉

  Thank you,
