Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 833)

A positive value moves the text toward the right and a negative value moves the text
toward the left. You can enter values greater than 100% or less than 0% in the value
slider. A value greater than 100% moves the text completely off the path to the right; a
value less than 0% moves the text off the path to the left. In the following image, the
Path Offset is set to 105%, so the text is completely off the right end of the text path.
4 Go to the frame where you want to end the animation (or set the next keyframe).
5 Adjust the Path Offset slider or value slider to reposition the text on the path.
6 Play the project to see the text travel along the text path.
7 Disable Record.
Creating a Type-On Effect
There are two ways to create a type-on text effect: Use the Type On parameters in the
Text Layout controls, or apply the Type On behavior (in the Text Animation behavior
category). This section discusses using the Type On parameters in the Layout pane of the
Text Inspector. For information on the Type On text behavior, see
Type On Behavior .
In this example, text is set to type on from left to right.
