Text justified to the bottom

[Kevin Camp]

to create the type on effect, you can use an expression like this on the source text property:

rate = 10; // value in characters per second
txt = text.sourceText;
txt.substr(0,Math.min(txt.length,Math.floor(time*rate)));

set the rate value as needed.

then for position try this expression:

offset = 100; // value in pixels
returns = text.sourceText.split('\r').length - 1;
value - [0, returns * offset]

you’ll need to adjust the offset value based on the size and line spacing of the text used.

the expression looks for returns (‘/r’) to advance the text, so you will need to use hard returns for each new line when you type the text.

=====EDIT==========
you can make your life easier by manually setting the leading in the character palette, then use that value as the offset.
