Text presets

Today we release text animation presets. Just like for regular presets, you can add a “In” preset to make your text appear, and a “Out” preset to make it disappear. Text presets enable you to animate texts:

• Letter by letter,
• Word by word,
• or Line by line.

You can customize the animation of each node (letter, word, line), and the offset between each of these nodes.
