Character Animation
Hi,
I’m trying to animate a word. I want the characters to enter one by one. When one character approaches its final destination, the other one already enters. The first character entry should be the slowest, gaining speed with each character.
Also, I want the last character to enter first. Initial testing showed only the first character entering first.Any ideas?

Lots of fine-tuning with AE’s Text Tool. Some pointers are to use Ramp Up or Ramp Down. If these are unfamiliar to you then perhaps brute-force character by character keyframing may be required.
Good Luck

[Roland R. Kahlenberg] “brute-force character by character keyframing may be required.”
That’s how we did in the Olden Days. It’s not that difficult. You can paste the keyframes to all of the separate glyphs (as individual text layer or text effects) and tweak them individually or, easier, make a copy of the word layer for each individual character and mask off all the other letters from each. then you just adjust the timing.

ANd not to forget to start from the end and break the characters away – so much easier than putting them in place.
