Working with the Type On Parameter Group
The Type On parameter group offers several options for creating animated writing or “type-
on” effects.
Text Type On adjusts the percentage of the text that is visible in each frame, allowing you to
create animated typing effects. This value is measured as a percentage of the complete text.
For example, if Text Type On is set to 50, the Þrst half of the text is visible. If Text Type On is
100, all the text is visible. Text Type On is animatable; the other parameters in this group are
applied progressively to each individual character as it types on.
Type-on effect with Text Type On animated from 0 to 100.

The Type On Order menu allows you to control the order in which the text types on. The
Type On Order menu includes the following options:
• Forward types on the text from left to right.
• Reverse allows you to reverse the effect so that the text types on starting from the left.
• Random types the text type on randomly.
Type On Order=Forward.
