How do I animate in with one effect and animate out with another? (I'm asking for editing text)

[JohnKChoi]

I have a line of text animating in using 'fade up words' and would like to change the opacity to 0% a few seconds later.

I tried adding the 'fade up words' effect to the text, and then adding the add > opacity, which created an 'Animator 2', but when I added 100% opacity and then faded it to 0% later, the 100% opacity would override the 'Animator 1' 'fade up words' effect.

Hi @JohnKChoi,

Delete your Animator 2.

Duplicate Animator 1 so now you have (a new) Animator 2.

Twirl open the Range Selector

Twirl open Advanced.

Change the Mode from Add to Subtract.

Slide the Animator 2 keyframes where you'd like the words to start disappearing.

Your timeline will look like this:
