Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 1482)

As with the Sequence Text behavior, the specific text parameters that the behavior uses
to create the animation are listed in the Inspector. Because the Drop In From Left behavior
uses the Opacity (from the Face controls) and Position (from the Format controls)
parameters, those parameters are listed in the Inspector.
Also, because you can apply sequence behaviors to text with applied styles (such as Glow
or a Library text style), all of the Style parameters also appear in the Text Sequence
behavior parameters. Using the Drop In From Left behavior as an example, if the Glow
and Outline are enabled for the text to which the behavior is applied, the Glow and
Outline are also affected by the Opacity preset.

From left to right, the text characters fade and drop in and land in their original position.
As the text animates, the selection box expands to encompass the text characters.
