    Is there a way to create text that slowly starts to appear on the left and then fades away as more letters begin to appear towards the right?
    Almost like taking a spotlight to highlight the first part of the text and then moving to the right across the text so by the end of the text the first part of the word has disappeared and the end of the word is exposed then fades.

    How about a Fade Transition?

    Not looking for a fade of the entire line of text.
    Here’s the scenario.
    Black background. A spotlight begins to highlight some white text and moves from left to right. As the spot moves, the text shows up only where the spotlight is panning it almost like looking at it with a flashlight.

    Very doable.

    You’re not wanting a “Wipe”. It’s like a Prison Searchlight.

    Perhaps try: Video FX Cookie Cutter. Use Animation to move it from L to R. Adjust the Size so that it large enough to add a Feather, which should give a subtle “fade” to the text at the outer rim of the cutter.

    Hi Grazie,
    Yes, After seeing this I see you must have done this at the track level as there is no way to apply an effect to text like you can with an event. Am I right?

    Firstly, is this the “look” you are after?

    Secondly, nothing at Track Level. I’ve done it all at Event Level.

    Cheers

    OK. Got it. You can do this with Legacy text but not with Sony Titles and Text. That text generator won’t allow for any of the regular presets.
