      You'd need to create a separate text layer for each character. It's tedious, but creatively worth it.

    how come everyone making tutorials is using the ctrl shift d to duplicate then delete the excess for timing part in the vid instead of just going to the time they want to stop at and hitting [ or ] ? why?

  • @TheJohnRowley
    @TheJohnRowley Před 6 lety

    Great video, thank you. I think when you say that hitting [ will move your layer to the playhead this is misleading, what it actually does is erase any of the layer preceeding the playhead.
