Animate text
Any text layer can animate its letters, words or lines one after another. It is one switch and a few settings.
Turn it on
Select a text layer.
In the inspector, switch on Animate the letters.
Pick a Style, then choose whether to animate By letter, word or line.
Styles to start with
| Style | What each part does |
|---|---|
| Rise | Rises into place from below |
| Fade | Fades in |
| Pop | Grows in from small |
| Drop | Drops into place from above |
| Slide | Slides in from the side |
| Spin | Turns into place |
| Typewriter | Appears one at a time, as if typed |
| Soft in | Comes into focus |
Set the timing
- Start: when the first part begins.
- Each: how long every part takes to arrive.
- Delay: the gap between one part and the next.
- Move: how far parts travel, in pixels, for rise, drop and slide.
- Easing: how each part speeds up and slows down.
- Play out: plays the whole thing backwards at the end, so the text leaves the way it came.
Script fonts
For joined-up fonts, choose animation by word and check the result before export.
Or ask for it
With mosso-mcp connected to Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor, ask for a text reveal. Export a Mosso project file, open it here and change the same settings in the editor.
How it exports
Text exports as shapes, so viewers do not need your fonts. Check the result in your destination player.
