Thanks for clarifying. Basically this can be achieved by the following (use composition from box-static folder, whichever you need): 1. Apply text animation for opacity AND scale to the text layer. 2. Set opacity to 0 and scale to 0. 3. Then change the range to animate appearance.

The only downfall is that with current setup you will have to make it per line and adjust keyframes However, these type of request are super handy as I could take them into account releasing V2 – its a long time already for this template, but update will be coming!

Thank you for your reply! I was able to get quite far with what I wanted to achieve by doing this way, but I have run into an issue: I shifted the text and background layers to have it animating line by line. The typewriter effects work as I expected, and the text box for the first line works as expected But following text boxes appear as the whole text box at once, before the text have animated in. Is there a way to work around this?

Yes, instead of shifting layers itself, shift only keyframes on text layer, where typewriter is. That way, keeping layer in points to the beginning, you should be able to achieve this still. Please let me know if it works – thanks!

Hey, thanks for choosing Boxer! As the template has a lot expressions and calculations happening, that is the reason why Lottie could fail. Did you tried exporting with expressions calculation to keyframes? Just in case!

Depending on what desired animation you have, it might be possible to strip the project down, but it might be a headache to prep. If you have a workflow which requires such procedure, do not hesitate to get in touch through email in profile and I will see what could be done with that.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply, yes i can see the expression is very well written and complex, maybe it is out of scope for lottie as well, i did see some error because of the obsfucated expression.

I try to have the dynamic text as it is on lottie, which means the same result as in rendered result (video file).

i will test some more, again thank you for the reply and support.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts – definitely feel free to share your findings if you figure things out!

If the binary expression caused issues – trying to disable it just for testing purposes might be helpful just to figure out if its related. That expressions splits phrase into multiple lines, thus it could be improved!

One thing to point out is that because expressions are pointing to master’s control comp as well – when exporting, make sure to select that under advanced expressions settings in Lottie!

I might do some testing on it as well as its interesting to make it reliable in more usage scenarios.

Thanks!

Hey Jordan! Thanks for choosing Boxer! Technically its possible by modifying expressions in every “Shape Layer” of the line, at “Transform” effect. Just keep in mind – it should be updated in ALL shapes – otherwise easing will become mixed-up.

It has generic “ease” interpolation applied – you could make it easeIn or easeOut, or even linear. Or add your own!

For quite a long time I am planning to release improved and rewamped version, thus such requests are very handy – thanks for sharing it with me and let me know if you found this useful!

Hey Iam, thanks for your trust, much appreciated!

While defined execution might be possible to implement – I wonder are you specifically interested that text would appear from one direction, and more away to the opposite?

By the way, in case if more clarifications are needed, you can check this video: https://youtu.be/9LHkCYR_npI

Thanks!

Respectfully, Tomas

“I wonder are you specifically interested that text would appear from one direction, and more away to the opposite?” Thanks thats exactly what I was thinking.

Cheers

Glen, thanks for your response! Would you mind sending me an email through DM, that we could discuss the update more in depth? Thanks!

There’s multiples expressions errors : exactly 21 errors when I first opened the file.

I think it comes from the “Slider” method

“thisComp.layer(‘control’).effect(‘box-xPadding’)(‘Slider’)”

All the errors mention a problem with the “Slider” method..

Thanks for your response. Is there a chance you changed the order of layers in the composition? Since you mentioned it was after opening the project – if you locate any of errors in expression, disable and re-enable the expression, does the problem remain?

Anyways, please send me the project file through DM in my profile here on VH, and I will make sure to investigate this and provide further assistance. Sorry for inconvenience, but this must be something relatively easy!

For anyone concerned -Issue clarified – it was a cause of non-multilingual use of ‘Slider’ in a few cases throughout the project (my bad). I will update the template during this month, to address this problem!

Hello Alcatraz, thanks for your interest. Template does not work with other animations alone (unless you would adapt them), but there are few reveal options implemented into template already – meaning, you could use it in a similar way. Here is review for it: https://camo.envatousercontent.com/1a500f595c2c8e18ebbc722aab36231d5b011bc0/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f574d50374e68372e676966

Animation timing, speed, duration – all changeable by adjusting markers and setting delays between the lines. Other than that, all other functionalities are covered in description.

Feel free to let me know if any other questions occurs. Thanks!

Thanks for your trust! Please get in touch with me through an email in a profile and lets discuss possibilities directly. I will try to do my best to help you out with this one. Cheers!

Thanks. I have emailed you directly through your profile.

Thanks, well received, will get in touch shortly.

Hello, thanks for your interest. All parameters are controller by sliders. With that said – by changing the value of ‘box-linesOffset’ slider, you can either make boxes overlap each other, or introduce gaps between.

I realised that description lacks clear showcase of the controllers – will add them accordingly. Thanks!

Hello, thanks for your response! Basically, all text-boxes you see in the preview video achieved by animating the slider controllers. In case you have specific questions how one or another was achieved – just let me know and I could help you out.

Alternatively, all controllers are described in the documentation – which could help get used to them even further.

Thanks for your trust!

Thanks☄️

Thank you a lot!

Thank you, John!

Thanks!

Thank you, much appreciated!
