Reveal (Beta)

A masked multiline text reveal preset for After Effects.

Say goodbye to manual misery and multi-layer madness.

Type and watch as each line gets its own matte that snaps to the baseline and adapts to descenders. Tweaks on the fly? No worries—the rig updates in real time.

Animate text based on characters, words, or lines with custom delays and easing. Access each "Based On" through a dropdown, or use the dedicated presets for each option.

Features

• Procedural pseudo-mattes per line
• Custom text animator with delay control
• Animation based on characters, words, or lines
• Matte visualization & shift control
• Bakable via "Convert Expression to Keyframes"

Limitations

• Up -> down animation only
• Point Text only
• No Stroke/multiple Fill Colors

Important ⚠️

This preset requires the Arial Regular font ("ArialMT") to be installed on your machine, which is used to render the mattes. The text itself works with any font.
