Typo Control includes 3 Presets: TypoControl_Master, TypoControl_2DChild, TypoControl_3DChild.

Make sure these are in your After Effects' Preset folder. You may make a separate folder there or just put them in the **User ****folder.

Your folder path may look like this: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 20XX\Support Files\Presets\User but will depend on where you installed After Effects.

By default this is how the master preset looks like. It includes most of the options and controls your motion.

Time From InPoint:

Unchecked: the motion will follow the timing of the master layer

Checked: Will start the motion according to the child layers inPoint. Meaning you can time all layers how you wish. Note that it will start adapt the master layers motion from the master's inpoint, meaning any motion before the inpoint will not be displayed.

Use Parent As Master:

By default the children will search for a layer called TC as master layer. To override that you may use this option to make the parent layer the master.

May cause problem when children need to follow a null (or other motion) as well.

May cause bugs as this was not tested properly.

Most values work functionally the same, we will take a look at them with the X Position as example.

X Position: Slider for the motion input. Use this to keyframe your motion! It will add the master motion to your already keyframed/placed layer. Meaning you can still keyframe the children's values as per usual.

Invert X Position: By default all layers will follow the master motion as it is. If checked will enable the option to invert the motion as well as individual control over the children. Options are explained in the following.

X Position Options:

Number of Not Inverted: Sets the number of layers that are intended to follow the original master motion.

Number of Inverted: Sets the number of layers that are intended to use the inverted version of the original master motion.

Change Phase: Changes the phase, meaning you may change at which layer the inversion starts.

Extra notes:

Invert All:

If Number of Not Inverted and Number of Inverted are both 0, and Invert X Position is checked, all layers will be inverted.

Odd one out:

If one of Number of Not Inverted and Number of Inverted is 1 while the other is 0, and Invert X Position is checked, only one layer will be inverted or all layers but one will be inverted.

Rotate By:

Can change the rotation of layers by different amount each.

Rotate Every: on 0 or 1, every child is affected; on value higher every Xth child is affected

Falloff: Rotation is reduced by value in %

Change Phase: changes the index by value, does not affect Rotate Every

Rotation: Rotates every layer the set amount by (masterIndex - index).

Note: Master Layer needs to be on the below all the children because of layer index.

Due to the nature of opacity, this does not have additional options.
