    Hello:

    I’m trying to have a line of text reveal on screen by using a text animator with tracking. I want the text to fly on screen from the left starting with a large tracking amount and end with a tracking amount of 0.

    The problem I’m having is the first character remains on screen the whole time. I’d like for it to fly in as well.

    Is there a way to have the track amount effect the first character as well?

    Thanks in advance

    Add position as an Animator Property and change its value so that the first character moves offscreen. I normally invoke the Line Anchor, in conjunction with Tracking to get more control.
