    Hello!
    If this question has been asked before please point me to that post!

    I have been using AE CS6 for a year so very new to it all.
    I have been asked to animate a pitch with quite a few lines of copy.
    The client would like the sentences to write on like a typewriter writing sentences on screen synced up to the beats in a a dance track. The reference was the Google Pixel phone advert where the text moves nicely about.

    I know Ae has a typewriter effect which can animate by words or lines. Could I use this effect and use an expression to sync the words on screen?

    I have to try animate several sentences sequentially and time it to the audio beats.
    If it was one sentence I could go in and time it frame by frame but thought maybe using expressions
    Could be better for large amount of text?

    I have also looked into audio beats assistant and type monkey scripts/plug ins.
    Not sure how to tackle the problem. Or what approach to take.

    I didn’t know about this at all, thanks for the tip.
    I ended up using beats assistant and timing everything patiently according to the different beats. It took 1 and a half days!
