Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 851)

The Text Sequence behaviors includes six classes of preset sequence behaviors: Basic,
Continuous, Energetic, Glow, Highlighter, and Subtle. These behaviors employ the
parameters of the Sequence Text behavior (in the Text Animation category). Although
the Text Sequence behaviors are all presets—the parameters are already selected and
animated—you can still add, remove, or modify any parameter that is available to the
Sequence Text behavior.
Note: While most of the Text Sequence behaviors have a definite start or end (fade in or
out, blur in or out, and so on), the Continuous group of behaviors are designed to have
no start and end points.
You can save a modified behavior to the Library. For more information, see Saving a
Modified Text Behavior to the Library .
Applying a Text Behavior
Text behaviors are applied in the same manner as all other behaviors and filters in
Motion—by using the Library or the Add Behavior icon in the Toolbar. As with other
behaviors, the Library allows you to see a preview of the behavior before it is applied to
text. The Add Behavior icon allows you to quickly apply a behavior to single or multiple
text layers.
To apply a Text behavior from the Library
1 Create a text layer in your project.
