    Hi,
    Some of the text effects have a Left-To-Right direction. However, since Hebrew is Right-To-Left, I need it the other way around. Is there a way to change text effects’ direction?

    You should be able to change direction by inverting the start and end values of animators in most cases. For path based text simply reverse the path direction as usual.

    For L-R text effects, say for the word, Hebrew, you’d normally start with the following values:
    Start=0
    End=0
    And you’d probably animate the End parameter until it reaches a value of 6.

    To start from the right, set the Start and End parameters accordingly:
    Start=6
    End=6
    Then you can animated Start so that it reaches a value of 0.

    The logic here is that since Start and End are the same values, the selected range is nil. Then by lowering the value for Start, you will manage to select a range from the right, where the End sort of acts as an anchor and the Start parameter moves the edge of the other end of the range selector.
