A powerful toolset for animating text layers in After Effects. Highlight, underline, add blinking cursors, format numbers, add monospacing, create text boxes, split text, and more.
The blinking cursor and typewriter does. I have not thoroughly tested all of the other features but they should work fine with rtl.
If not, you can let me know and I will patch.
The biggest issue with any and all the scripts that split text (character, word & lines) is that the text will lose at least some of it's formatting. For an example if something is word is in BOLD/ITALIC or you have changed the font of different words or even letter's within the text layer. I assume it's a technical issue and it wouldn't be possible to make a tool that would retain these?
Great tool though. Have to upgrade at some point from Monotize!

Yeah, unfortunately it is a limitation with the After Effects API. Anytime you use a script or expression on source text, it reverts all the text to the style of the first character.
the Make Text Flow up button isnt working for me...
Thanks for purchasing! The Text Up button won't appear to do anything initially, but as line breaks are added to your text (either manually or via Typewriter function) the text will flow up instead of down.
Yes, the blinking cursor includes an RTL option. The other functions should work with RTL as well. If you run into an issue though, just let me know and I should be able to patch quickly.
Please fix the bug when animating RTL - in rectangle box (background color) tool,
are opposite to actually text position.
I mean until the text animation is start, then its jump to the rights place.
Thank You!
I'm not sure if I understand. One possible solution is to reverse the path direction on the highlight/underline/strikethrough layer. Let me know if that solves the issue. Will look to making a more permanent solution to this problem.

Hey @AE_Screens, Thank you. I tried the path direction unfortunately didn't helped.
In the "before" we see the background blue color (rect_layer) outside of the direction. Before the (character RTL mode) text animation starts, in the "after" everything following well,
its start work after more the "Animation" slider (on the text layer) more than 7% .
If it s ok I have +1 suggestion to make option to get auto animate the "in" & "out" animated slide of this (background color "rect" layer) I mean like how it entering to the behind of the text and the end of it. (in some cases its strange that the text bg "rect" just suddenly appear, and its nice to have an option to smooth in out bg reveal)
Hi, I bought this tool because I'm in an urgent need to get animations done using this tool, client needs these animations today still. However upon install & launch of Ae I get the error below, and a blank Type panel. Please assist asap. Thanks!
This app really nails everything its designed to do and I'm having a blast animating with it. I do have ONE request - Is there a way to do a soft fade with the typewriter animations? If I'm animating by word then having them pop on screen one after the other 0->100% opacity with no transition is a little jarring.
Is there a way to add a small fade option to the animator so the animation doesn't feel so abrupt? Maybe I've missed it? Let me know Thanks!
Hi there, could I suggest having a count down option and not just count up? I know this could be done by precomping and time-reversing but still, it would be nice as an option. thanks

This is already built in actually! Hold shift while clicking the timer and it will countdown. This is done by adjusting the start time (to comp length) and setting the timer speed to -100%
Hi there! The Split Text function doesn't do parenting in any way. Tried all the parenting preferences in the settings, but no one works. What could be an issue? Could you help with that? Thanks in advance.

Hmm...would you be able to open a ticket and send an aep? I don't have any ideas off the top of my head.
Hello! how do I get the countdown to look like this for 5 minutes "5:00" and not "05:00"? Thanks!
I plan to update the tool to allow for this. In the meantime, you can update the Minutes section of the Source Text controls with this: // Minutes if (showMinutes) { displayMinutes = formatTime(currentTime, 60, isAutoCollapse, 60, 1); if (currentTime < 60 && isAutoCollapse) { displayMinutes = ""; } div3 = (showSeconds && displayMinutes !== "") ? ":" : ""; }
Hey, love type so far. One issue is the cursor feature seems completely broken if you have more than one line of text. It just bounces at the far side. Seems like an obvious fix?
I'm having a weird problem where the highlight doesn't line up vertically with my text, it puts the highlight too high and I have to manually lower it to line up with the text. Any idea why that could be?

It is likely that your baseline shift is not set to 0. Try adjusting this from the Character panel and see if that solves the issue.

Yikes. That shouldn't happen. Do you already have line breaks in your text before adding the cursor?

Hi there, I'm encountering a similar issue with the cursor feature. When I have more than 3-4 lines of text, the cursor stays centered and doesn't move to the end of the text. This happens whether I manually type or copy and paste. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What about meddle eastern text? RTL

I try to modify the big number at Monotize, scale 100% 100%, but nothing happens.
