  • 1.  wipe on/off a line of dynamic text of variable length.

    I need to wipe on/off multiple lines of text using an animated mask (wipe on/off each line separately)

    The text is coming from a database - so could be a single word or complete sentence (width of each text field varies)

    This means that the distance the mask has to travel to wipe needs to change based on the length of the text provided.

    Now the hard part: the animation curve for the mask uses 4 TCB Spline keyframes.

    Hoping there's a simpler solution than scripting a complex animation system within xpression

    Thanks!

    for anyone interested here's a link to download an example of what I'm trying to figure out

    uses Visual Scripting so please enable continuous animations

    I think the best way is to use Stagger animation... But I can't see your example at the moment.
