Typewrite effect not working when adding other effects to the text

[R Neil Haugen]

I can't tell ... is that the FilmImpact typewriter, or the old discontinued one, or a plugin?

It's the native Filmimpact typewriter, from Premiere update 25.5

Thank you for giving the info ... I'll have to test that on my PC later.

Hi @Vinicius23360093z9ac -  The long shadow is an effect, while the text animation is a transition. Since transitions are applied after all effects, this causes the text effect to break. This is a known limitation, as the effect relies on transparency to isolate the text characters.

I’m glad you found the workaround of nesting the type effect and then applying the drop shadow. There are ongoing discussions about improvements in this area for the future.
