  A Text Animation Problem

  Posted by Bernd Garving on March 31, 2006 at 5:53 pm

  Hi there,

  I have a long line of AE text. I animated scaling and rotation. I took only a short part of the text to be animated. Using offset, I now have the effect running along the line.

  Is it possible to have the text’s transparency set to 0 before and after its animation? I want to see ONLY the animated part. Is it possible to do this with an expression?

  Regards.

  I could be wrong, but I think that what he’s going for is for just the part of the text that has effects at the time to show… I would just precomp the whole thing, then just animate a mask on that. I’m sure there’s a better way, but that’s the best I can give you.
