@mvaneijgen appreciate this, didn't know there was a way to set a maximum duration and then that will split the stagger between the amount of elements, very handy.
@Toso think is more what I was looking for, starting the animation from the top left and going down towards the bottom right of a text.
Unfortunately there seems to be a bug where the text towards the end of a line animates before it should, could it be to do with the grid: "auto" calculation from the first line of text and as it gets further through the text it starts to be offset due to different character count on line 2,3,4 etc
Thanks for your input so far everyone
