  Altenative Text

  Posted by Bausdtown on June 23, 2006 at 3:43 pm

  Hey,

  I’m working right now on an animation with many Text-Elements.

  When I’m finished I’ll have to do the same animation in another language.

  My question is, is there an easy way to alternate the text.
  I’m gonna do copy & paste, but the thing is, if I have to make changes in timing after changing the text, or something like that, I’ll have to do it twice. So, is there a way to have two text-versions in the same layers?

  You can create two keyframes for source-text:

  one in English, the other in French (par example), place them both before the layer inpoint, now drag the language you need to be the last one (but still before or exactly at the layer-inpoint, otherwise you’ll see the text swap.)

  But then i had to change is in every text layer, so this wouldn’t save time. I really think it would take even longer if i have just to change few things.
