After Effects: Typewriter effect (1 of 3)

One way of achieving a typewriter effect in After Effects. Will work in previous versions of AE. In Part 1 we place the text on the paper and apply the typewriter animation preset, before using the wiggler to get some more realistic typing motion. Then we add a typebar (the metal arm that types the text).

This tutorial is a response to a thread on the After Effects forum at creativecow.net.
