Alphabet Script

here’s a screenshot of a script I saw:

[Graham Quince]

I’d probably start witha precomp, with each letter being on a different frame. Then in the main comp, have a text layer with the word on it, and on each precomp’s time remapping property have an expression with a javascript object, something like:

myTextLetters = { 'A': 0, 'B': : 1, .... };

Where the number corresponds to a frame in a precomp.

Then take my text layer and split it into individual letters:

myString = text.sourceText.split('');

Depending on layer position, use the determine which letter each precomp is denoting and set the time value to the be:

myTextLetters[myString[index]);

I’ve not tried this, and there’s probably something you can do with Essential Graphics to make this smoother and you probably also want a separate expression on the opacity to turn off layers you don’t need. But this might get you started.
