    An easier way (for me at least) is to work with the ‘Range Selector’ option.

    1/ Highlight the letters you want to leave.
    2/ Add a Text Animator of your choice.
    3/ Either use Hold or Linear keyframes to create the desired animation.
    4/ Repeat steps 1-3 for the other part of the text you wish to animate.
    This keeps the text layer as one unit and makes changes much simpler.

    Great Job Adam for the whole series, Very useful tips well served. Keep up the good work.

    I’ve been working with typography and animation for over a year now on a weekly basis, and yet I’ve never even considered this. Great tip!
