Hi all. I'm trying to create text in a video that either appears one character at a time like a typewriter, or have each line simply fade in from the left one after the other. The aim is to make it look like character speech text in video games.

There are no suitable presets in the titles & text tool (they're all far too fancy), and while using keyframes to make characters appear one by one does work it is far too labour intensive for the project I have in mind.

I'm open to pretty much any suggestion that doesn't involve spending exorbitant amounts of money - my project is a non-starter if I can't find an efficient way to do this.

A basic example of what I want to achieve (try to ignore the awful audio):

Edit: I'm using Movie Studio Platinum 13.
