Random repetitions?

[Syntax_One]

Hi!

Is it possible to get random repetitions?

Something like this example:

I tried with the Repeater, but with no success.

Thank you!

The easiest way to generate random repetitions is to use a particle system. CC Particle word will let you choose a Textured Square as a particle source and then choose a layer. Change the Producer Size and the physics and you can turn a layer (text layer or movie) into a particle and end up with this in about a minute.

You could even animate the text generating a different word on each frame and choose Birth as the texture time and end up with a bunch of different words randomly popping up in the comp. The timeline shows you everything I did in this comp to create the comp.

Wow! Thank you so much! I will try this as soon as I can! Have a nice Sunday! 😄

Hi! Thanks again!

I think I respected everything you show in your screenshot. However, it's not working on my end 😞 

Can you please tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks again!

You have to move the CTI (current time indicator) down the timeline so the particles have a chance to generate. To verify that you matched my settings just press the U key twice with the top layer selected. There also has to be some text in the type layer.

Hi again!

As you can see, my settings are the same as yours and there is indeed some text in my text layer:

Thanks again!

With a bit of tweaking, I kind of got what I was searching for:

Thank you and have a nice day!
