Type On controls in the Layout pane

Use the Type On controls to create a type-on effect, similar to a typewriter-style animation. You can keyframe the type-on effect to occur forward or backward, or to move in both directions.

Note: There’s also a Text Animation behavior called Type On that creates a forward type-on effect without setting keyframes. For more information on using that behavior, see Use the Type On behavior.

Start: A slider to set the start point of the type-on effect (from the left side of the text). When set to the default 0%, the text is fully “typed on.” When set to 100%, the text is fully “typed off.” If the value animates from 0 to 100 over time, the text types off from left to right. If the value animates from 100 to 0, the text types on from right to left.
End: A slider to set the end point of the type-on effect (from the right side) of the text. When set to the default 100%, the text is fully “typed on.” When set to 0%, the text is fully “typed off.” If the value animates from 100 to 0 over time, the text types off from right to left. If the value animates from 0 to 100, the text types on from left to right.
Fade In: A checkbox that, when selected, causes text characters to fade on or off. When Fade In is deselected, the text characters pop on as they appear.
