Sony Vegas and Media StudioYep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...
In Sony Vegas, is there an easier way to get a typewriter effect, with each letter appearing on the screen from left to right, other than keyframing each one individually?
If you have Vegas Pro 8, it's easily accomplished with ProType Titler.
If not, possibly quicker than your suggestion is to have the text on one layer and a layer above which hides it. Keyframe that layer to move to reveal one letter at a time.
