How to make a Typewriter Effect with Text Elements and Rectangles

• Begin by adding your text element(s) and fill in the text.

• Then, add rectangle elements to create overlays (boxes covering the text). The number of overlays (boxes) should be equal to number of text lines.
  All overlays must have the same color as your background color.

Add the Following Animations to Overlays

• Move

• Resize (If the overlay can't overlap other elements behind or next to the text)

Let's Start with the "Move" Animation

Animation settings:

• Direction: "End With"

• X Value: In the video-example, we have added 700 px.

Best practice is to add the px of the format's width minus the number of px from the X coordinates (the overlay placement - see the values in the editing menu on the right).

Let's Resize (If Needed)

But hold on - it might be good to go already!

Click play, and check before doing this step.

If resizing is needed, use these settings:

• Direction: "End with"

• Values; Width: 0; Height: 0.

Let the resize animation start at the same time as the move animation.

Check the screenshot of what the animation board should look like right here. 

That's it!

Happy ad-creation! 😎
