How to Use Split Text
Basics

Split Textbutton to split by the current mode - Each unit becomes its own layer with proper positioning

What Gets Created

- A controller null that parents all split layers
- Layers are named based on content (e.g., "Hello - H", "Hello - e"
- Duplicate characters or words get numbered (e.g., "Hello - l", "Hello - l - 2")
Behavior
