how can I get the text to work like a counter = word = character jump next word etc. Like Vincent amazing airport flip text but I only want it to work on text

The numbers are stored in a texture. This means that by editing this texture in a paint app you can replace the numbers by anything you want: letters, texts, icons, emoji, little drawings in full colour and anything else you can put in a texture.

Here's a demo show. The texture 0123456789.png can be found in the Textures folder.

yes...thanks michiel. I did try that but I need the alpha channel transparency. I was thinking of using the counter slider and swapping the numbers to Alphabet characters

When you make the texture transparent, the numbers/texts/pictures become very difficult to read/see because every time 2 of them are rendered transparently on top of each other. Plus I don't see how a flipper with floating pictures could work mechanically, this will look very unrealistic. So I do not advise to use transparency.

thanks michiel, I used BT text, and layered the text with a fade in and out. it would be a nice feature to have a simple character swap out like the number counter.

Maybe the ENCRYPT prop of the text layer is what you are looking for.

thank you michiel. the Encrypt won't allow you to change and hold on characters = for example. STAND....BRTYU...GET READY....RTGNMBD ....GO! this must be on one text layer or track
