Creating Effects for Individual Glyphs
A unique and powerful feature of LiveType lies in the ability to instantly assign an effect
to individual or selected groups of glyphs, or characters, on a track. This method can be
used with new effects, as well as preset effects.
To assign an effect to individual characters:
m Select the character or characters you want to apply the effect to, then do one of the
following:
 Choose a preset effect from the Effects tab of the Media Browser, then click Apply.
 Create your own effect by choosing Track > New Effect, then applying effects from
the parameter menu in the Effects tab of the Inspector.
The selected effect is automatically turned off for all characters that are deselected. If
the track is selected and no characters are selected, the effect is applied to the entire
group of characters on the track. You can reassign all characters to a single effect at
any time.
Hold down the Option key and
drag a keyframe point to pull
out Bezier handles, creating a
curved motion path.
