i actually wanted to puke watching this cos of the excitement!!!! this script will save millions of hours!! thank you so muchhh

[@SternFX]

I hope you are well now, never considered puke as a good thing :-)

[@clintonvanarnam710]

Thank you for this! Is there a way to offset the animation so you can do per character animation instead of for the entire text block?

[@SternFX]

No, but you can do it using the plugin I cover in the previous tutorial. Link in the description, but who has the energy to scroll up? no one, so here it is again: ruclips.net/video/JKxrgZ_xqoA/видео.html

[@thomasrossi9919]

Thanks for the tutorial, very useful !
What if I want to apply the effect into one character only ? Is this possible ?

[@SternFX]

Unfortunately not, but you can use text animators and split the text to different layers. If you need more control, you can check out this 3rd party plugin that I cover in this tutorial ruclips.net/video/JKxrgZ_xqoA/видео.html

[@jaydemelling6036]

Hey, this is really useful! My typography for the campaign I am working on is a mix of weights. Would it still be possible to animate?

[@SternFX]

yes, you can still animate the text as usual

[@florenciaibarragomez2558]

thanks! I am only having a problem when exporting in media encoder, the variable font is changed to another. If I export directly in after the font is maintained. anyone else with this problem?

[@SternFX]

Variable fonts are not supported in Media Encoder yet. You'll need to render directly from Ae.
