Text wiping away
Is there a way of horizontal fading, or even vertically fading text? i.e. having some text wipe away in either direction

Hi,
I'm afraid there isn't a wipe for text currently
John -
The text animation options, they're made so the text can 'type' in like a keyboard animation, BUT, the 'text animation progress' option has an Input! -- so, you could possibly wire in a count-down timer to make the text "untype" backwards. Its not a fade, but it could look similar.
Alternatively, you could have a black background, white text, then use the Wiper gadget in black to wipe over everything, so it looks like a fade. -
Oh, I forgot to mention that the text animation progress option reads 0-1 so 0.5 would be half -- meaning you need to multiply the timer's output by 0.01 first.

Thanks john. zerocub the black on whit method is a great advice and I may use that in the future, I would have to experiment with the timer one, but I do have another idea I’m going to try ?

It's not perfect, but here's another idea:
Create a painting with low opacity. Multiply it a bunch of times, each moving away from the camera. Rotate it to a slight angle.
Make the text in-scene rather on-screen (whatever they're called). Animate the painting moving toward the camera. It will clip over the text, but as each layer is translucent it will appear to just become darker from that side which creeps along to the other.
Have the BG be the same colour as the painting, and you should be done. XD
