Hey guys, I was messing with the text effect presets and in the Help -\> Text Preset Gallery , it shows a lot of the effect (such as Vanishing Point) having the letters fade in as they animate in. Trouble is, in RAM and final export, the opacity doesn’t change at all!

This leaves the effect looking not quite as good as the preview in the help page.

Any ideas?
