Right to Left typewriter preset in CS6?
Hi,
I’m working in Arabic, using the excellent https://aescripts.com/arabictext/
I need to do multiple-line typewriter reveals of the text, character by character within a single text object.
The example preset called Typewriter-RTL on that page goes to a bad link.
I’ve still got a copy of the preset, but it appears to crash in CS6. Works fine in CS5.5.
Does anyone have a solution?
PS – I know that I can adjust range values to create a single line of right-to-left revealing text, but I can’t get it to work across multiple lines of text in Arabic.
Many thanks,
Tom

Here’s an AEP that provides another solution – https://www.broadcastGEMs.com/mediastreamer/bGEMs_TextAEP_WordProc_Right2Left_(CS5).zip. However, you’ll face the same issue with multiple lines. The solution is to create your multi-line text, one line at a time and composite them in a ‘final’ comp.
BTW, the advantage of the solution I’ve provided is that you can replace the underline character with a graphic image and also offset its position. This allows you to create an effect where a flare/light source precedes the text characters as they are being drawn – a sorta sci-fi look-feel.

Is there a way to save this effect? Every time I try nothing happens.

Text Presets are a little hard to save in that all the parameters have to be saved – ie lots of selections will have to be made. You should also ensure that the Expression Controls are saved.

I’ve just realized that the effects requires a controller layer’s position property. Since two layers are required, you can’t save this effect as an Animation Preset without some gymnastics.
I suggest that you simply re-use the AEP.
