Appearances

Disappearances are not currently supported, but we are working on porting them.

Appearance Effects animate letters only when they’re appearing on screen. For this reason, they’re mostly used in combination with the typewriter, which shows/hides letters one after another.

Reminder: you can set default Appearance Effects in the TextAnimator node, without having to write Appearance Effects tags in each text. Set default effects to the entire text
