Hi There,
1.) To add content above the menu we have to add via SLIDER SETTINGS : ABOVE MASTHEAD. We can built the slider using either Revslider or Layer slider. Text Type element that you have at the moment is only available in Cornerstone. It could be possible with custom development to integrate text type element with Slider Revolution, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer.
But then we can achieve it the other way in Revslider. We just need to make the animation character based on the fade in and fade out animations. See their documentation here:
There’s also an addon, but then that is not included on the revslider bundled with the theme:https://revolution.themepunch.com/wordpress-typewriter-effect/ and you have to buy a license.
2.) Look for fade in animation feature available on columns
Hope this helps.
