How to use the Blinking Cursor Typewriter but have multi fonts in one font box
Posted by Aurora Wang on January 12, 2026 at 3:15 pmI have realized that when I used the “Blinking Cursor Typewriter Console” preset, the text will be changed the same. Is there a way keep certain texts in bold?

January 14, 2026 at 8:27 pmno panic! as i told in the video, my template works for 1 line at a time, meaning for each line, simply duplicate the entire comp “line1” and it will create a “line2”, so you can customize each line indipendently, then simply drag each “line” comp into a main timeline and arrange each line in the y order you prefer and delay them in time if needed!

January 15, 2026 at 10:49 pmI got it working with multiple fonts by creating separate comps for each line. Each line can have its own font, bold or style. Then I drag the line comps into the main timeline and adjust their Y-position and timing. It’s fully customizable per line and keeps the blinking cursor animation intact.
