Basic Text Animator
Hi-
this might seem so basic to some but I have a simple text animator that fades the text on screen. See image attached.
The fade moves to the right, and after the text is on screen for a bit, i want it to reverse the way it appeared. When i keyframe the offset value back to the starting value the fade starts from the left again. how can i reverse this?
Thank you kindly in advance.

Try not using the offset, but the start/ end values for fade in/out stuff. The offset is if you set a range and want to move text parts … something like that: ooooooOOOOoo — oOOOOooooooo

Hi John,
I was able to get this to work by doing the following.
– set the opacity to 0%
– Start=0
-Offset=0
– Keyframe the End from 100% to 0% then back to 100%
See attached AE file.
Is this want you are wanting to do?

WOW! Thanks for the fast replies, and test file you provided Joe!
It’s very close.
The start / end values makes more sense. I will adjust that.
Thank you both. ?

Joe-
I added a line of text to the test file and set up the keyframes similar to the example you provided.
Two things:
1) I can’t achieve a similar fade, the text just pops on in this setup. This is kinda cool, but how I do preserve it if desired?
2) The text fade appears on screen from left to right, how I get it to fade out from left to right also?
I re-attached the test file with my added line of text.
Thanks again in advance!
