Trying to replicate text animations easily, is this even possible!?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EksWu4VuFE#t=7m9s
i tried to make something like this work in sony vegas for hours, it REFUSES to cooperate, constantly forcing text to replace other text instead of fading in alongside it. i’ve since given up hope that sony vegas will be able to help
i’m basically trying to make text animations that look exactly like the ones in the above video; fly fade ins, sroll fade ins, lots and lots of fade ins for each “page”.
but just as importantly, i need to be able to write lots of text and animate it quickly, preferably under 10 clicks to create a new instance, put text in it, position it in the frame, and then animate it (are there any text animation presets within adobe premier? like a plugin or animation pack or something?)
i’m basically tearing my hair out at this point, how hard can this possibly be for a video editor to do?

There aren’t any text animation presets in Premiere Pro on a per letter basis. You can do those fades, though. Text animation is usually done in After Effects, and yes, you can save presets to make your workflow smoother.

in the time it took for my post to be approved, i’ve since transitioned to after effects for the text animations i need, and learned that after effects…well…effects…can be used in premier pro.
my question is, are there any tutorials or project files i can dissect or reverse engineer to make something very similar to the text effects in that video?
and also
everything in after effects seems to be based around having a fixed duration, is there any way to make the duration dependent on length of the active region of the timeline instead? so i can just drag the bar in the timeline out however far i need it, instead of guessing how long everything is going to take and punching in numbers manually?

Yes, you can try the text animation examples in Help: https://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7caba.html
As far as creating a text animation the same length as your clips, in Premiere Pro you can “Replace with After Effects Composition” via Dynamic Link:
