Let’s jump in. ♥
You’ve created your graphic and want to add a Typewriter Animation to your text.
First, you’ll need to select the text box you want to animate. Then click on Animate, as displayed below.
When you click on Animate, you’ll see the numerous Text Animations on the left. There are so many cool animations to choose from.
For this tutorial, let’s click on the Typewriter Animation option. You’ll see further options.
You can select the Animation to be displayed on both Enter and Exit, or just Enter or Exit.
You can choose the Speed of the Animation. You can also choose to have the effect on each Character or the complete Word.
The next step is setting the timing of the animation. For one image, it defaults to 5 seconds. This can be too fast depending on the length of the text.
NOTE: To access the Timing clock, click outside your graphic.
To adjust the timing of the animation, click on the clock icon and insert the number of seconds you’d like to set it for and press Enter.
For my graphic, I changed the timing to 7 seconds.
TIP: I also used the slowest speed in the Animation effect. This is often best for the Typewriter Animation effect.
Once you selected your Animated Timing, let’s download your design.
To do this, just click on Share, then Download.
You’ll see File Type. To maintain the animation, you can choose MP4 Video or GIF. Then click on Download.
And you’re done!
