Text Tracking error

[alphaae]

I've run into a problem with text animation tracking. I want to text to appear like a typewriter but also track spread out as the letter appear. I have the basic idea of what I want built in AE but for some reason my text is having some issues with regrouping as the letters appear that is messing up the spreading tracking. Does anyone know how to fix this? Here is a picture of the error I'm having and a screen shot of my settings.

Do you want the tracking to increase AFTER the text types on?  If so, it's easy:  Use the Typewriter animation preset to get the text on, then highlight the text layer, go to the Character panel to adjust tracking, and keyframe the tracking as you would any other property.

I'm wanting the text to typewrite appear and spread simultaneously.

I am not exactly sure how you achieved your result but here's mine if that's what you want. I have revealed the modified properties:

Hey Roei, that worked. I'm not sure why mine was moving the way it did but your set up seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not sure why mine was moving the letter like that but I did try to recreate the text several times but couldn't not get the results I wanted like yours. Maybe it has something to do with creating the spread tracking on a second animator. Thanks for the help.

Sure thing Buddy. Second animator is probably it because you need a new range selector to include all the letters.
