It seems we revisit this every 4 years – how often does brigadoon reappear in the movie?

I just made a minor tweak and it works like a charm. Then I saved it as a user preset and done.

So. The Puck Solution is:

1. Add “Emerge” to the text in question
2. Open the Stroke Width Animator
3. Click Add>Property>Fill Color
4. Set Fill Opacity to 0%

Should now work like a charm.

For those who aren’t familiar with saving the new preset:
1. click Animator – Stroke Width
2. Animation – Save Animation Preset…

Now 100% of the time — it works every time.
No need to match background and text color or create alphas.

See y’all in 4 years!
