Making text appear line by line

You’re probably right. But as an exercise I knocked this together in 23 mins including creating the mask in an image editor.

Actually it’s even easier if you make each line a separate text event.
Add Cookie Cutter Video FX, use rectangle, adjust to a suitable size and animate its position so it moves across “uncovering” the letters. Use Hold keyframe interpretation so it jumps from letter to letter rather than gradual movement.

And, as Ben has demonstrated, it is far more than one Text Event and by definition each individual Text Event would be very different requiring a multitude of individual KFs and each Text Event would consist of many different lines of Text. So, although your approach is commendable for the one-off Event, this would add a mass of time that a Text>TypeWriter makes your approach left standing. But, only my opinion.

Thank you for the help!

Yes I agree Graham. If you have more than a few to do it would be tedious. So Ben will need to master NB Titler Pro if that can do it.
It’s a pity Vegas doesn’t include a preset fot “Typewriter Text”. I’ve come across other less known consumer editors that have it. Searching on the net it appears that a few yars ago even Windows Movie Maker had it!
