smoothly fading in text with layer effects, what’s this pop-in problem?
Hopefully this isn’t a stupid question.
When using an animator to fade in text that has a bevel or inner glow I see these layer effects “pop” in after a certain amount of opacity. I’m guessing this is due to the animator’s opacity affecting only the text and the layer effects are applied to that opacity. So, when the opacity is low, the effects are applied differently than to fully visible text.
Is there a way to use the animator fade in and preserve the layer effect appearance? (In photoshop terms, affect the layer’s opacity, not fill)
Thanks,

Tried it. I thought that would work but it still applies the effects incorrectly. (I have an inner glow, dark multiply, white text fades in black, then pops to white)

yep! I’ll just have to find another workaround. Thanks for you help though!

Indeed, there’s always the prerender option. I was inquiring if there was a toggle I was missing to save time on future projects.
I just removed the offending inner glow and tweaked the other effects to achieve a close-enough simile. I just would have liked an option to “bake-on” layer effects or to affect the opacity, not the fill.

Could you not precompose your text with its layer styles and then fade the precomp?
