  Animating Characters

  Posted by Norman Laughlin on November 20, 2018 at 4:24 pm

  Hi!

  I was using the “Fly in from bottom” preset to animate the characters of a word. But what I’m noticing is that the characters animate one by one, that means, after one character ends the animation, the next character starts. Is there a way I can have for example the second character come out when the first character is in the middle of its animation? I can’t find how to do it.

  Thanks!!

  Hey Norman that should be possible you just have to dive into the drop down menus a bit.

  Try this: Click the triangle next to your text layer. Then go into Text, then to Animator 1, then Range Selector 1, then Advanced. Try changing the “Shape” property from square to ramp up and change the Ease high and low values.
