Project includes:
1.UPPERCASE - A - Z in uppercase (or big letters)

3.Numbers - Numbers from 0 to 9.
Main - Main composition,hold inside the TimeControl,do not delete!

-------
When you open the Scriptool.aep there is a example animation ready for you.
In the Layers section you will find:
1. Pre-composed - This is a pre-composed version of all the layers below,excluding TimeControl.
(This is the way you should use Scriptool - Please read WORKFLOW)
2. Effects - Adjustment Layers to generate Ramp and DropShadow to the letters below.
3. 3-9 - Letters used in the animation.
10. TimeControl - In the Effects section of this Layer you will find "Speed" slider,the value of this controls the speed of the handwriting.Lower means slower.DO NOT DELETE.
!! -- WORKFLOW - IMPORTANT --!!
Workflow is very important when using Scriptool to make your animations easy as possible.
1.Drag the letters you need anywhere into the composition.NO NEED TO ALIGN CORRECTLY.
2.Move the Time Ruler (animation) far enough so you can see all the letters.
3.Select all the letters and press "S" to scale them all.Scale if needed.
4.Now it's time to align them correctly.
5.Select all the letters again and Pre-compose (Layer --> Pre-compose)
If you want to apply colours,glow,shadow or other effects,open up the pre-composed text and add a Adjustment Layer to the top of the letters.For colour changing use "Color Correction --> Tint".
To turn the font from black to white,easy way is to use "Channel --> Invert"
USING WITH EXISTING PROJECTS:
You can import the scriptool.aep into your existing projects and start using it,you will still find the TimeControl in the Main composition.No need to add it yourself to your project.
You can also create a separate project,animate your words and render PNG with RGB + Alpha
