Text Animation with Background

Question

Hi everyone! I am trying to achieve a text effect like THIS tiktok where the text and rectangle around the text are appearing simultaneously by word. I'd love to do this with a text animation so I dont have to mask every single word.

I followed THIS tutorial to get the rectangle around the text, but when I use text animators it's only applying to the text and not the rectangle. The only effect that also applies to the rectangle is "Blinking Cursor Typewriter Console" which is fine but I need it to animate by word and not by character.

Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks!!

If you go to the Effects and Presets panel and search form"word", you'll find a bunch of text animation presets. If your text layer is selected and you double-click on a preset, it will add the effect. If you don't like the look, just undo (CTRL+Z) and try another one.

This is also a great way to learn about text animators. Once you've added an preset to the timeline, if you expand the layer and look at the animator and it's advanced settings, you'll see you can adjust from percentage to index, and then choose to animate by character, word or line.
