Data entry text effect
Im trying to get a data entry like effect in AFX. Something similar to the typewriter effect but the cursor stays still (iff there was a blinking cursor) and the text moves out to the left of the cursor as the numbers/leters are typed in.
any help appreciated

Ask the guys on the expressions thread, I believe that has already been done by then.

yep, it’s been done before.
i’d probably set it up with a slider to control the completion (to make it more like the type-on preset).
to set that up, create your text layer, make it right justified and then add a slider expression control effect.
then copy/paste this expression to the source text property of the text layer:
completion = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
txt = value;
n = Math.round(linear(completion, 0, 100, 0, txt.length));
(txt).substr(0,n)as you change the slider value, the text should type on, and if you have the justification set to right, it will type out to the left.
