- Animate Type – Choose between the Rotate 3d or Typewriter animation
- Lead Text – If you wish to display some static text ( lead text ) before the animated text, you can add it here, in most cases, this isn’t needed
- Font Color – Choose the Color of your Typewriter text
- Align – Set the alignment of the Typewriter
- Formatting – Set the format of the text. Only use the Heading 1 if there are no other Heading 1 tags on the page ( this is for SEO purposes )
- Font Weight – Choose the Font Weight of the Typewriter text
- Font Size – Set the Typewriter Font Size – the size differs depending on what formatting you’ve selected
- Duration – The Duration is the time the word is visible for, longer words require more time
- Delay – This value is the Delay time between each word animation – smaller values are recommended
- Pause – The Pause value is the Pause time at the end after all the words have been animated – use this to pause on the last word
- Text to Animate – These are the words you’re going to Animate, each line is animated at a time. You can use small sentences too. It’s not recommended to use the Typewriter to animate large sentences.
