    Hi people,

    Can anyone help me save a whole heap of time with a text effect.
    I have a wipe (the exhust fume of a car) which reveals the text.
    I want each letter to fall a little into place one by one with a little bounce as it falls and settles. There are 6 bullet points with a line of text i want to reveal in this way so animating each individual letter will take too long.

    I am using 6.5 . If there a text preset i can tweek to acheive this ?
    all those that i looked at seem well over the top.
    I just want a little drop and bounce into place one letter after the other .
    I suspect i need to go into expressions but i dont really know them still ans the job must be out today!

    thanks in advance

    love you all

    Chris

    I know it’s late, but I hope this will help you: try adding a text position animation from the pop-out menu of the text layer in the timeline. Animate the position on the whole text layer (that’s the default) the way you want it to bounce. Finally, animate the “start/end” parameter of the position so it’ll go through one letter at a time.

    I don’t think you need to go into expression, AE’s text animation are powerful and easy to use if you just play around with it.

    Hope that helped,

    that would have helped greatly…so thanks for the tip.. playing around with the text bounce preset got something like what i was after if a bit wavey.. but how annoying is it to not be able to make you what you want due to lack of technical expertise.
    will have a look at what you were saying and thanks.
