Apple Motion 3 - Manual (Page 671)

Chapter 7 Using Text 671
As with the Sequence Text behavior, the specific text parameters that the behavior uses
to create the animation are listed in the Inspector. Because the Drop In From Left
behavior uses the Opacity (from the Face controls) and Position (from the Format
controls) parameters, those parameters are listed in the Inspector.
Also, because you can apply sequence behaviors to text with applied styles (such as
Glow or a Library text style), all of the Style parameters also appear in the Text
Sequence behavior parameters. Using the Drop In From Left behavior as an example, if
the Glow and Outline are enabled for the text to which the behavior is applied, the
Glow and Outline are also affected by the Opacity preset.
2 Click Play (or press the Space bar).
From left to right, the text characters fade and drop in and land in their original
position. As the text animates, the selection box expands to encompass the text
characters.
Position parameter (set to 200 on Y axis)
Opacity parameter (set to 0%)
Other Style parameters set to 0% (so that all text style
parameters, such as Outline, are also affected by the behavior
preset). These parameters are present in all Text Sequence
behaviors, whether enabled or not in the text.
Sequence controls (common to all sequence behaviors,
including the Sequence behavior in the Text Animation
subcategory)
