It probably isn't SFX, but it's close enough. I'd like to be able to simulate someone writing the text for my title scenes. I don't want to simulate a hand or anything, I just want the text to appear gradually, as if someone were writing it.The obvious way to do it (I thought) was to do it manually. I created a filmstrip of my (finished) title card, and, working from the last frame and going backwards, slowly erasing pieces of the lettering. Well, I figured it would take 20 seconds to write out the phrase I'm using, and, even at 15 frames a second, that's still 300 frames to animate. I don't have that kind of patience, especially on something I'm not getting paid for.
Anybody have any other ways of doing this?
