Changing the Speed of Text Sequence Behaviors
With the Drop In From Left behavior selected, notice that the duration of the behavior
is much shorter than the duration of the text layer to which it is applied. You can see
this in the mini-Timeline or the Timeline. By default, the duration of a Text Sequence
behavior is 60 frames.
Like the Type On behavior (in the Text Animation subcategory), you slow down or
speed up the animation by changing the duration of the behavior.
To slow the sequence animation:
1 Select the sequence behavior.
2 Do one of the following:
 In the mini-Timeline or Timeline, click the right end of the behavior bar and drag
toward the right (extend the behavior) to the frame where you want the animation
to end.
 Go to the frame where you want to set the new Out point, then choose Mark > Mark
Out (or press O).
Note: Conversely, you can speed up the animation by shortening the duration of the
behavior.
Adding or Removing Text Sequence Behavior Parameters
Although the Text Sequence behaviors include predetermined parameters, you can add
and remove parameters. Parameters are removed and added in the same manner as
adding parameters to the Sequence Text (Text Animation) behavior—using the
Parameter Add and Remove pop-up menus. The following example continues with the
Drop In From Left behavior to illustrate adding parameters to a Text Sequence
behavior.
