numbers effect but with text?

[Steve Roberts]

Did you check the text presets gallery?

[Heather Crank]

I did, there are some that animate on, but I need something that is already on and constantly changing…..is there a preset like this that I’m missing???

Thank you!

Heather

this was from the help menu for examples of text animation. it shows how to use offset characters, which sounds like what you want to do…

Create a new composition.
Create a new text layer with the word Galaxy.
Choose Animation > Animate Text > Character Offset.
In the Timeline panel, set the Character Offset value to 5.
Expand Range Selector 1.
Click the Start stopwatch to set an initial keyframe at 0 seconds and set the value to 0%.
Move the current-time indicator to 5 seconds and set the Start value to 100%.
Set Character Alignment to Center.
Preview the composition.

hope that helps.
