Expression for letters to fade out randomly
So Dan Ebberts kindly posted some code for letters to appear randomly by adding an opacity animator and setting the value to 0. Then adding an expression selector and deleting the range selector. Followed by adding this expression to Amount:
revealTime = 3; // reveal over 3 seconds
seedRandom(textIndex,true);
myReveal = random(revealTime);
if ((time-inPoint) < myReveal) 100 else 0(Link: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/227/17643)
I’ve now been asked to have the letters fade out randomly as well as fade in. I’m fairly new to expressions… Anybody have any ideas?

I’d like to help, but your spec doesn’t have enough detail about exactly what needs to happen, timing, etc.

i think you can probably do this without an expression….
- add an animator for opacity to the text layer and set the opacity property of that animator to 0.
- twirl down range selector and then advanced and set random order to ‘on’.
- keyframe the animator’s offset property from 0 to 100, and then from 100 to 0.
