Thank you for the quick tip. But, does that technique require me to do the same again and again for different clips?

Karie.

That might be possible with the text+ tool, but I haven’t really explored that too too much. The easiest thing to do would be to make a BG and mask off a small caret with a rectangle mask. Then set the level of that mask to blink on and off. You can set the keyframes to loop so you only have to make one blink, and the rest will happen automagically

Hope this helps!

Is there any way to let me simulate a type out effect with a blinking caret?
I see there’s a write-on option in Text+ tool, but no way to add a blinking caret.
what should i do?

ty a loooot

In this case, what I would do is use a TimeStretcher node to offset all the nodes to the point in time in which you want it to appear. You can use one timestretcher node, and animate it so that it comes in and out at the frames that you want, or you could make separate time-stretchers for each appearance of the logo.

Hope this helps!

Thx a great deal for your tut!
im somewhat new to node-based rendering.
I have one question: How can i reuse some effects (for example, i have an animated effect rendered by a group of nodes ) at different times in a single video clip?
To be more precise:
I have a cool logo animation (not pre-rendered, but generated by a lot of nodes on the fly. it’s not done by me), i want it to pop up at the each section’s beginning (and there’re 8 sections in my clip).
What should i do?
Pls give me some advices. thx
