Tutorial 3 Working With Text 143
7 Play the project.
The lioness movie clips move from left to right across the screen. But the lioness clips
are obscuring the wonderful text objects! You need to move them beneath the text.
8 In the Layers tab, select the Clips layer and drag it just above the Sunset layer.
9 Play the project.
That looks much better.
The Final Touch
The project is nearly complete. All that remains is to place the National Geographic logo.
To place the logo:
1 Select the Titles layer.
2 In the File Browser, navigate to the National Geographic folder.
3 Drag the NatGeoLogo.psd file from the File Browser into the lower-right corner of the
Canvas.
Fading the Logo In and Out
The logo should be faded in at the beginning of the project and faded out at the end.
This can be accomplished in one step by applying the Fade In/Fade Out behavior.
To apply the Fade In/Fade Out behavior:
1 Make sure the logo object is still selected.
2 Click the Add Behavior icon in the Toolbar, then choose Basic Motion > Fade In/Fade
Out from the pop-up menu.
3 Play the finished project.
4 Press Command+S to save your work.
The exercise is complete. When you play the project, you see each text object change
with the behaviors you’ve applied.
5 Close your project when you’ve finished admiring your handiwork.
