FREE TEMPLATE (typed title)

This is a template of how to make your title appear to be typed on screen in real time

Feel free to use it and change it as you need ( this is an example I made for my current story)

If you do, please credit me! Instagram: @episode.florence

This is a combination of Transparent Characters ( i learned how to use it from @JosephEvans) and making texts from overlays ( i learned that from @Dara.Amarie)

PS: Don’t mind that I used french numbers for creating overlays that don’t actually exist :slight_smile:

And this can be edited to my story title? ( I still don’t understand a lot with coding)

Can you show a video of what this does?

This will make your title appear letter for letter infront of which ever background you choose.

In order for this to work you first have to create an overlay of your background which you then put exactly over the actual background. After that you have to create texts from overlays. Every overlay only can have one letter in order to make them appear letter for letter later on. Now you will have to position them next to each other so it looks like they are in a row, just as you want your title to be written. You then will need to put all of the text overlays in different layers. The last step is to bring everything into the right opacity.

This sounds complicated but the template above is a perfect example on how to do it. This will be easier to understand and to do if you are familiar with the transparency and text overlays.

You only need to adjust the template to your background and title
