This is a great tutorial. I started to copy and paste the numbers in my comp, but once it gets half way, the number disappear and I don't know why. Do you have any ideas?
Also be sure the check this tutorial which takes another approach for creating the same effect, more or less :)

Sure, just add a bunch of "2008" stings with a space after each one, then skip the "Character Offset" animation. It might look strange though because the minimum string will be 4 digits long, but maybe you can use smaller font size to compensate
Digits Man, part 1 numbers change into other numbers
by Kathelijne Deramault on Jul 22, 2008
Hello,
I made the tutorial Digits Man, part 1 & 2. This is a great tutorial. I used the numbers 2008, but the numbers change into other numbers in the animation. Is it possible to have the same animation like in the tutorial, but so that the numbers always be 2008?

Thanks,

hello, i have a question. I want to use words that come randomly. I have changed: range selector, advanced, based on--> words, but then I see the letters randomly (also letters that I don't use in my words, so you can't read the words anymore) What do I do wrong? I have tried over and over, but it doesn't work. Can you help me please??
Thanks for responding so fast, but I have a further quick question. Is it possible to keep each word in tact? That is, say I have a line that reads "Jon Doe Joe Smith Jim Parker". Is there a way to animate the offsetting of words so say in the next frame it reads "Joe Smith Jim Parker Jon Doe" and perhaps "Jim Parker Jon Doe Joe Smith" in the following frame, so on and so forth?
Animating Text - Question from a Student Animator
by Joe Klepacki on Mar 6, 2008
Is it possible to create a similar effect to text as seen in Digits Man but instead using words (or in my particular case First and Last Names), while preserving the word/name itself? That is, making the word/names jump around in a seemingly random order without scrambling each constituent character?
Love the tutorial Eran. Great digit-art, attacked with some humor. I'll have to upgrade to CS3, but I will find a good use for your tut. Hope to see part 2 very soon. Thnx.
Eran, thank you. i was so going to figure out how to do this tutorial on your site but you're breaking it down in english. man i feel like a spolied american. thank you letting me be so ignorant, your tutorials are great!
When I use 1000x1000 px. for the letters I can only write up to the middle of the layer. I used 500x500 and it worked. DO you (or somebody else) know how to do it right or is it my computer that is to slow? Maybe it
