How to add delay in text?

Software Natron
1

I want to add a delay in text nodes. I have 3 text bullet points, and I want to add 3 seconds of delay between bullet points. How do I do it? I am using portable natron.

How do you define “delay”? Is there a transform animation? Is there an opacity animation? How exactly do you want the text delayed?
If you want all of the 3 bullet points to have the same opacity animation, put them all on one text layer, then keyframe the “a” (alpha) component of the font color according to when you want the text to appear.
If you want to do a transform animation, use a transform node after the text node and animate the translate, rotate, and/or scale parameters using keyframes.

Thank you very much for your response.

I’m new to Natron. A teammate provides me with a .ntp file, which I load using the portable version of Natron. The file may contain elements such as bullet points, icons, and colored boxes.

I need to display these elements sequentially:

  • The first bullet, text, and box should appear at 0 seconds.
  • The second set should appear after 3 seconds.
  • The third set should appear after another 3 seconds, and so on.

Could you please advise how to achieve this?
Is there a specific function, keyframe method, or scripting approach I should use?
