Yes.  But it seems not all text presets have a position animator. Those that do are no problem.  But in many, I can't find it.  Is is tucked away in a secret menu?

Bear in mind that if you add a position animator to text you now have two position properties… the original transform position, which should be your final position.  And your starting position should be set in the text animator position property.

I am struggling with the animation presets for Text.  Specifically the Animate In.  Often times the starting point is not off the comp.  So the text is in plain view before it even begins to animate.  I know in some of the presets you can change this position but in many, there is no control for this or at least non that I see.  "Straight in by Character" for instance.  Starts with my text on screen and then animates over a bit.  I want to move the starting position off screen.  If I use the position keyframe, it movers the entire text over so it animates into an area I don't want it.  Hope this makes sense.
I find this problem keeps me from using many of the presets for Animate In.  Has to be a solution, I just don't know what it is.
thanks
