Why we like it

Fade Up RTL earns its place in the aescripts library for bringing 'Fade Up' style animation to multi-line text in both RTL and LTR directions, with paragraph text supported.

What is Fade Up RTL?

Fade Up RTL is a text animation tool for After Effects that displays multi-line text one character at a time or one word at a time. It creates an animation similar to the 'Fade Up Words' and 'Fade Up Characters' text animation presets, extended to multi-line text in both RTL and LTR directions. Paragraph text is supported.

Animation can be based on characters, words, or lines. You can set the timing of the IN and OUT transitions, and the text animation can be defined either in time or in speed. The tool also controls the smoothness of the fade transitions and includes animation adjustment tools.

The workflow starts by selecting a text layer or layers, then setting the unit type along with smoothness and in/out transition time. From there you click IN and OUT, adjust the parameters, and click Update. Fade Up RTL is version 1.52 and works with After Effects 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019, and CC 2018.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fade Up RTL work with After Effects 2022?

Fade Up RTL is compatible with After Effects 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019, and CC 2018, so recent and several older versions are covered. Version 1.52 added support for AE build 22.1.1. If you're running one of these listed releases, the tool should install and run without a version mismatch. For versions newer than 2022, check the developer's page on aescripts, since compatibility beyond the listed releases isn't confirmed here.

Does Fade Up RTL support right-to-left text?

Fade Up RTL supports both RTL and LTR text directions, which is central to what it does. It can display multi-line text one character at a time or one word at a time, creating a fade-up animation similar to the 'Fade Up Words' and 'Fade Up Characters' presets for text running in either direction. Paragraph text is also supported, so right-to-left multi-line and paragraph layers can be animated the same way as left-to-right ones.

Can Fade Up RTL animate paragraph text?

Fade Up RTL supports paragraph text, so you can apply its fade-up animation to paragraph text layers as well as standard multi-line text. The animation can be based on characters, words, or lines, and you can adjust the smoothness of the fade transitions along with the timing of the IN and OUT transitions. This applies to both RTL and LTR directions, and the text animation can be set either in time or in speed.

Is Fade Up RTL free?

Fade Up RTL is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any changes to how it's distributed, check the developer's page on aescripts. The tool is at version 1.52, last updated on December 30, 2021, and works with After Effects 2022 back to CC 2018. Downloading from the developer's page ensures you get the current build and the correct installation files for your version.

How do I create an animation with Fade Up RTL?

Fade Up RTL follows a set workflow: select a text layer or layers, set the unit type, and set the smoothness and in/out transition time. Then you click IN and OUT, adjust the parameters, and click Update to apply the animation. You can base the animation on characters, words, or lines, and define it either in time or in speed. Both RTL and LTR directions and paragraph text are supported.
