Text animation presets
Typewriter, fade up, blur in, wave, pop and morph, letter by letter.
Text animations play per letter. Pick a preset in the inspector and tune its timing: when it starts, how long each letter takes, and the gap between letters.
- Select a text layer.
- In the inspector's Text animation section, pick a preset. It starts at the playhead.
- Adjust Timing: start, the duration of each letter, and the gap between letters (in seconds).
- Click Clear to remove it.
| Preset | What it does | Each letter | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typewriter | Letters appear one after another | 0.01 s | 0.045 s |
| Fade up | Each letter fades in while rising a little | 0.45 s | 0.028 s |
| Blur in | Letters sharpen from a blur | 0.5 s | 0.03 s |
| Wave | Letters rise in, overshoot a little and settle | 0.7 s | 0.05 s |
| Pop | Letters pop in with a springy overshoot | 0.35 s | 0.03 s |
| Morph | Changes the text into new text: shared letters slide into place, the rest cross-fade | 0.4 s (duration) |
For Morph, type the target text in the Morph to field that appears; its timing is start and duration. The duration is capped at 5 s and the gap at 1 s.
