Appearances and Disappearances

Appearance Effects animate letters only when they’re appearing on screen, while Disappearance Effects make them dynamically disappear. 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 and Disappearance Effects in the TextAnimator component, without having to write Appearance Effects tags in each text. Set default effects to the entire text

Diagonal Expand Tag: {diagexp} Modifiers: bot, d

Horizontal Expand Tag: {horiexp} Modifiers: d, x

Vertical Expand Tag: {vertexp} Modifiers: bot, d

Offset Tag: {offset} Modifiers: a, d

Size

Random Direction Tag: {rdir} Modifiers: a

Reminder: by default, appearances start with '{' while disappearances include an hashtag '{#' (to simply indicate that they're appearances in reverse, but being the same effects). You can change brackets and everything in your settings file, in case you'd like to use other symbols.
