Apply the Fade Out effect to Track 2, since you want the letters to disappear once
they’ve exploded.

The trick is that you want the letters to fade out just as they explode, and because they
are exploding in sequence, you need to align the timing of the sequencing markers for
the two tracks.

Using the sequencing markers in the Timeline as your guide, adjust the speed of the
Fade Out effect to line up the sequencing markers of Track 1 and the Track 2 effect.

Align the sequencing markers of the
Nitro LiveFont and the Fade Out effect.

The combination of the top layer
of text in the Nitro LiveFont, and
the underlying text that fades
away, makes the letters appear
to explode from left to right.
