What is the best way to animate a list (ie. a series of text lines) so that whenever a new line fades in, the previous ones move upwards to give way for it?

Use track mattes for some seriously elegant and professional results

Did you mean something like this?

You can move the previous line with loopOut(type="offset", numKeyframes=0).

This will move the line on a given amount and repeat this movement relative to the new position.

However, depending on your actual animation you might need a more sophisticated solution.

Thank you, seems promising. How could I ease this animation? (I would then stop the video after each one to let the narrator explain the point).

Just as normal as with ease-keyframes.

As an alternative, you can put all lines to a null and move the null whenever you want. This involves more keyframes, but better finetune.

The loop will always have the same timing, same move amount. Maybe not what you want...
