Important:

The following description is for the Sequence Text behavior that shipped in

Motion versions 3.0.2 and earlier. Motion 4 contains a revised Sequence Text behavior.

Once you have added and modified the Sequence Text behavior, you can save the behavior
to the Library. For information on saving a modified behavior to the Library, see

and Sharing Custom Behaviors

To assign parameters to the Sequence Text behavior

1

Apply the Sequence Text behavior (from the Text Animation subcategory) to the text.

The Sequence Text HUD also appears and the behavior is added to the text in the Layers
tab and Timeline.

Important:

Before any animation can occur, you must explicitly add at least one parameter

to the behavior from within the Inspector. Until a parameter is added, adjustments made
in the HUD have no effect.

With the Sequence Text behavior selected, display the Behaviors tab in the Inspector.
