    Probably a fairly easy one but my google searches didn’t help me.

    I’m trying to mimick a technique I’ve seen around the place, which is like a typewriter transition except the letters fade in a random order. Any quick tips on how to do this?

    Here’s an example at 12 seconds: https://vimeo.com/102778758

    You can find this in the text animation section. Click the down arrow next to your text in the time line. On the right side you will see Animate: > go ahead and hit that drop down. Check opacity. Key frame your start 0%-100%, and then turn the randomizer on. I’m doing that from memory, so there may be a little give and take. But that should at least get you in the right direction. Try playing with the opacity level too.
