If you need positional properties, you may need to create many text layers for each syllable, since the positions will be correlated if you use only one text animator. Then again, it could be part of your effects, who knows

Why does that happen? D: Or is it me?

This is what I do: I load Shinji's script, I select one layer, I load pichus' script and a brand new 'Keyframe style 7' pops up. I add a position property and turn off the Effect selector to see the changes. Then all the characters are displaced. However, the characters (why characters instead of syllables?) start moving 0.5 sec before the effect starts. The script gets the fixed length, but it messes up the whole line D:
I noticed I made a fatal mistake in my codes after I posted that first post. I assumed you didn't get the updated one. It should be based on 'word' instead of 'character.'

Thanks for the reply.

Edit: you might also want to modify the input parameters. I just made those numbers up as an example.

Edit #2:

Try this parameter:

on=0^0$0 0.25^0$100 0.5^100$100

This will reach a full stop at 0.5s, and full syllable at 0.25s (required)

If you want the positions to stay after 0.5s, you can use the following:

on=0^0$0 0.5^0$100

(I could make a GUI out of this, but I'm a command-line person, so I'm used to this way :/)
