Changing the Speed of Text Sequence Behaviors
With the Drop In From Left behavior selected, notice that the duration of the behavior is
much shorter than the duration of the text layer to which it is applied. You can see this
in the mini-Timeline or the Timeline. By default, the duration of a Text Sequence behavior
is 60 frames.
Like the Type On behavior (in the Text Animation subcategory), you slow down or speed
up the animation by changing the duration of the behavior.
To slow the sequence animation
1 Select the sequence behavior.
2 Do one of the following:
• In the mini-Timeline or Timeline, click the right end of the behavior bar and drag toward
the right (extend the behavior) to the frame where you want the animation to end.
• Go to the frame where you want to set the new Out point, then choose Mark > Mark
Out (or press O).
Note: Conversely, you can speed up the animation by shortening the duration of the
behavior.
Adding or Removing Text Sequence Behavior Parameters
Although the Text Sequence behaviors include predetermined parameters, you can add
and remove parameters. Parameters are removed and added in the same manner as
adding parameters to the Sequence Text (Text Animation) behavior—using the Parameter
Add and Remove pop-up menus. The following example continues with the Drop In From
Left behavior to illustrate adding parameters to a Text Sequence behavior.
To add a parameter to a sequence behavior
1 Select the sequence behavior to which you want to add a new parameter.
