Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 819)

The Anchor Point pop-up menu has four options:
• Character: Rotates each character as if each glyph has its own anchor point.
• Word: Rotates each word as if each word has its own anchor point.
• Line: Rotates each line as if the individual lines had their own anchor points.
• All: Rotates all of the text as a single object.
Position: Defines the position of the anchor point specified in the Anchor Point pop-up
menu. Click the disclosure triangle to display the individual X, Y, and Z parameters. To
see a visual representation of the anchor point, select the text with the Adjust Glyph tool.
For more information on the glyph tool, see
Working with Text Glyphs .
Type On: This group of controls allows you to create a “type-on” effect, similar to a
typewriter. You can keyframe the type-on effect to occur forward or backward, or to move
in both directions.
