  • 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 pm

    I 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?

    Actually, I’m a bit struggling with the expression if the text box is a paragraph, and how to adjust the cursor Y-pos expression

    no 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!

    I 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.
