WRITE ON
Reveal letters one by one
Bring characters and parts on and off screen in order, from first to last. Place just two keyframes to create an animation that writes the text out by hand.
- Two keyframes to finish
- Stroke-order style reveal
- Free ordering of targets
How to Use
- Set Page to
Output Settings. - At the animation start frame, keyframe End to
0.0. - At the end frame, set End to
1.0.
That's all it takes to create an animation where the letters appear one by one from the beginning. Keyframing Start instead makes the text disappear from the beginning onward.
Choosing the Unit
| Unit | Behavior |
|---|---|
Character | Reveals and hides whole characters - suited to text that pops in one character at a time. |
Part | Reveals and hides individual parts. Combined with Stroke Order, parts appear in an order close to the writing order. |
Controlling the Reveal Order
Turn Manual Order ON and list characters or parts in Manual Order List to reveal them first, in that order.
text
c4-c6, c9, c1-c3In the example above, characters 4-6, 9, and 1-3 appear in that order, and anything not listed (characters 7 and 8) follows afterwards. Spaces also work as separators, and part ranges such as p2-p5 can be used as well.
See Output Settings for the full specification.
