TYPE-ON with Cursor

[Aaron Strader]

Check the type preset animation gallery in 6.5. Go to HELP and choose Text Preset Gallery.

Look under mechanical. I think there’s one close to what you’re describing there.

HI
there is a plugin that does exactly what u want
im not sure if thats the right name
but i think its called “FINAL EFFECTS”

[Chris Smith]

Hmmm, I don’t remember there being one in the Final Effects set. Seems most final effects are included in AE 6.5 anyways as the CC plug-ins.

However the Image Lounge plug-ins has exactly what you seek. It does type ons with cursors of many different sorts. It will also auto blink them for you as well if you wish.

Just a type on is a cinch using AE’s text animations, but the cursor is a little bit more of a bear.

The text-animation preset including an underscore cursor is called:

Multi-line -> Word Processor

If you want to change the underscore into a full block:

add a scale- and anchorPoint-property to the first animator.
scale the underscore character way up (something like scale = [100,1600])
and then adjust the vertical anchorpoint untill it lines up.

Our Text Anarchy plugin set has a TypeOn plugin, which has a variety of cursors and additional options.
