Text Sequence Animation node

Text Sequence Animation node

Product media placeholder

Replace this area with a screenshot or short walkthrough video during the media sweep.

Cycle through a sequence of strings based on progress. textSequence emits both the current string (`text`) and its position in the array (`index`, float). Authors pick any number of output targets via `channels`: `from: "text"` routes the string to any DOM string target (textContent, aria-label, CSS var, title, data-*, etc.), `from: "index"` routes the position float to any numeric CSS property (opacity gating, slide offset, step-in indicator). Compound: expands into `textSequence + one domPoseWrite + N domStringWrites` at load time — no runtime class.
