Question 1

How is this different than the default Typewriter preset?

Accepted Answer

The default Typewriter preset only hides/reveals characters. This means that text won't be set properly (center and right aligned). It also means that other tools and presets that rely on sourceRectAtTime() won't work, since the bounding box of the text never changes.

Question 2

Why am I getting an expression error?

Accepted Answer

Make sure your expression engine is set to JavaScript. File > Project Settings > Expression Engine > Expressions > JavaScript
