LAYER WORD + LETTER EFFECTS TOGETHER

Created by Steve Minor, Modified on Sat, 4 Oct at 9:09 PM by Steve Minor

Want sentences to build word by word, with each word revealed letter by letter?

Steps:

1. Break your sentence into multiple text boxes (one per word).

2. For each box:

o Apply animation.

o Set Effect Options → By Letter.

3. In the Animation Pane, stagger timing across words.

4. Fine-tune each word’s Start Time + Delay for smooth unfolding.

Pro Tip:

Match this pacing to a voiceover, drumbeat, or music drop.

It creates rhythm that feels cinematic and professional.
