Is there any way to keyframe a string at all?

[Okidoki]

You want to simply comment on frames or really want ot make the text appear?
For the later you might simple copy a tex object for every new text and change the animatd it “appearance” accordingly…

I heard of :

The Future Of Storyboarding: Blender For Pre-Production — blender.org

…but never about using changing text objects with this (but i’m also not very much familiar with grease pencil, so i don’t know the possible text features of it; but for comments…).

And there is always a python solution (okay this might not work today…)

keyframing text, how?

Here’s the hello world of changing a text object with python: Open a new blend Add a text object Rename the object From “Text” to “TextObject” (optional really) Make one of you windows a text editor (widen the text editor a little bit) Click the new button Copy these 2 lines of code and paste them into the text editor import bpy bpy.data.objects["TextObject"].data.body = 'foo123' Click the ‘runs script’ button. Or hit alt-p The text changes… The script I use is only slightly more co…

Ohh and of course Geometry nodes… (with switches compareing the frame nuber or drivers… but this may be too complex for a story text…) See also Docs-Blender Manual: GN → TextNodes …

But you may also use the video editor to ad text on specific frames… See also Docs-Blender Manual: Video Editor → Text Strips …

Or some other solutions for “dynamic text” ?
