I have a simple timeline that shows my headline then fades out. 

 

<div id="headline1">Dynamic text that may be 1 - 60 characters.</div>

 

  var tl = new TimelineMax();
      tl.from("#headline1", 0.4, {autoAlpha:0}) 		//headline fade in
        .to("#headline1", 0.4, {autoAlpha:0}, "+=3.5"); 	//headline fade out

 

Is it possible to make my headline visible depending on how many characters are in my headline?

 

ie:

10 characters = 1 second before fading out

60 characters = 5 seconds before fading out

Thanks @Shaun Gorneau your code was just what I was after.

 

This is what I ended up using (plain javascript)

 

 

  delay = Math.ceil(dynamic_headline1.length/14);
  console.log("headline1 is visable for " + dynamic_headline1.length/14 + " seconds");
  
  var tl = new TimelineMax();
  	  tl
        .to("#headline1", 0.8, {autoAlpha:0, delay: delay})  //text fade out
    return tl;
}
