Expression instead of keyframes for range selector
Hi,
I’m creating a lower third that uses keyframes to animate the start/end of a range selector on blur and opacity.
I’m wanting to create it so that instead of keyframes, I use an expression to drive the percent over time based on the number of characters in the name/title.
That way, it doesn’t matter how short or long the name or title is, it will always animate in the same.
Any ideas?

Something like this might get you started:
rate = 12; // characters per second
dur = text.sourceText.length/rate;
linear(time,inPoint,inPoint+dur,0,100)Dan
