then returns to its original size and opacity as it falls into place.
7 Press the Space bar to stop playback when you are finished.
8 Choose File > Save (or press Command+S) to save the project.
Adding the Third Text Object
Now you add a third text object, to which you apply a different behavior.
To add the third text object:
1 Select the Text tool and click near the left edge of the sun in the Canvas to set the
position of the new text object.
2 Type “kenya | bila shaka pride” into the text object.
Note: The vertical line is the “pipe” character, which is on the Backslash key.
3 Press Esc to exit text-edit mode.
4 Position the new text object along the bottom edge of the Sunset object.
Applying Changes to Selected Text
You can select text in a text object, and apply changes to only the selected text, instead
of the entire object. You must be in text-edit mode to do this. Either select the Text
tool, or double-click the object.
