TYPEWRITER EFFECT
For Adobe After Effects
What is it?
The Typewriter Effect template for Adobe After Effects has everything you need to create a realistic typewriter animation with your custom text. It's perfect for video intros or displaying your company name and logo!
With a couple typewriters to choose from, you have complete and easy control over the movement of the typewriter body, carriage, paper, or text. You can choose your paper, font, font size, type speed, and more. And with the latest update, the key strikes and carriage shifts are automatic, so you can simply enter a line of text, and the animation is ready to render. And by popular demand, multiple lines of text are now easier than ever!

Old Version:
The original version of the effect is more work, but it allows you to have more control over timing in your animation, since each key strike is keyframed manually. If you are unable to accomplish what you want with the updated (2022) project file, then open the older (2017) file included in the download, and follow this two-part tutorial.

If your text fits on one line, and you leave the text at its default size and position, the animation is completely automatic. If you have multiple lines of text, a little bit of keyframing is required (shown in the tutorial).

This template has been "universalized", so it will work in After Effects running in any language.
The Typewriter Effect template is not a plugin, so there is nothing to install. Rather, it's an Adobe After Effects project file, commonly known as a "template" because most of the work is already done and the user needs only to make their own customizations. This template is compatible with version CS3 as well as all later versions of After Effects.
