Text Animation Behaviors
The Text Animation behaviors create basic text crawls, scrolls, “type-on” effects, and
tracking animation. This group also includes the powerful Sequence Text behavior,
which allows you to create a custom animation that sequences through the characters
of text using all of the Style parameters and most of the Format parameters.
Text Animation 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 a
single or multiple text layers.
To apply a Text Animation behavior from the Library:
1 In the Library, select the Behaviors category and then select Text Animation from the
Behaviors subcategories.
