After Effects Tutorial: Create a Realistic Typewriter Text Effect with Blinking Cursor

[@motionhubacademy]

X = text.sourceText;
Speed = Speed;
StartAt = Start At;
TimeST = Animation;
F = Math.round(TimeST * Speed % 1);
L = X.length;
T = TimeST * Speed - StartAt * Speed;
Cursor = " ";
if (F==1 | T>0) Cursor = "|";
if (T>=L) Cursor = " ";
if (T>0) X.substr(0,T) + Cursor
else Cursor

Hey! Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. I've got two questions: 1) Can I have some of the words in Bold? It seems all letters are transformed to same font weight and color. 2) Can I have just the underscore "_" in a different color? Thanks!

I think you can but you need to edit the project. also for the differnt color you need to work on the animator options.

Hi, awesome tutorial! I have one question, I have a problem inserting a rectangle or a square symbol in an expression. I have problem with any font. Now I'm using Arial font and Character Map and I'm copying the required symbol correctly, but they won't display the required symbol. I don't know if the problem is in Unicode or some settings in After Effects or Regional formatting.. I tried all the options but it won't work.. please help, Thanks in advance!

how did you make the cursor so thick?

[@user-de7ph2lg6b]

Why does my text start from the center, I want it to start from the left and the first letter is not movable

[@motionhubacademy]

Set the text alignment to left
