Using Text

567

After you create the desired text treatment—a customized text behavior or a text style
with the perfect gradient colors and glow—you can save the behavior or style in the
Library for use on other text or in a future project.

You can apply filters to text, as well as change and animate text properties such as
position, blend modes, and drop shadows.

The stacking order of text can be easily changed in the Layers tab or Timeline. Text can
also be moved to or duplicated/copied into another layer.

The Motion Library includes ten LiveFonts that can be applied to text. LiveFonts are
animated fonts that can add a little zing to your project.
