Moving title
I have recently watched a dvd on which the scene titles started as a pile of letters in the lower lefthand corner of the screen. The pile then moved left to right, laying down letters in the correct order until the title was complete and the pile depleted.
I can see how to do this with one layer per letter but it would be very laborious with a long tile. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to do it in as few a number of layers as possible.
I am using AE 6.0

with ae6 (with out a specific text plugin, if there is one) i think it would be very laborious… as you outlined.
with ae7, you gain control over individual lines, words and characters within a text string. animating that kind of per character control, you’d have a good shot at (more easily) creating that effect. and that can be saved as a preset, to make it easy to recreate if you have many lines that need to reveal.
in ae6 i would work backwards…. layer out the text in the final positions/rotations. keyframe those, then set your rotations for each, and line them up at the same start position. then see how close that gets you. you’ll end up needing to stagger your final rotation and position keyframes for each letter to get them to stop one at a time, in order.
