Discotext is a trim paths plugin for live text layers.
Inspired by the trim paths controls for shape layers, Discotext allows you to trim, offset, stagger and clone your text layers with controls that feel familiar to every After Effects user.
Features include:
Start, end and offset controls
Butt, square and round cap styles
Full dash, gap and offset options
Stagger per path and order-modifier controls
Clone and offset copies with powerful transform controls
Compatible with most text animator properties
8, 16 & 32bpc compatible

Emulate 3D text using powerful repeat, offset and transform controls
Dash settings familiar to AE users
Expanded UI
Limitations:
In AE versions below CC2018, text layers with parented transforms may not behave as expected (depending on the parented transform). This is a technical limitation that has been resolved in CC2018 and newer.
3D text must be precomposed before being offset in Z
Quantity has a quality of it’s own.
Emulate variable-width strokes with customizable motion blur controls
Easily create stylish reveals with flexible trim path and stagger parameters
Discotext is compatible with most inbuilt text animator properties
