Saving a Modified Text Behavior to the Library

As with all modified behaviors, filters, generators, and so on, you can save a modified
Text Sequence behavior to the Library. This example continues using the Drop In From
Left behavior from the above sections to illustrate saving a modified behavior.

To save a modified behavior to the Library:

1

Select the behavior you want to save.

Note: Although not required, it is recommended that you rename the behavior to a
more descriptive name for organizational purposes.

2

In the Library (press Command-2), select the location in which you want to store the
behavior, such as the Text Sequence subcategory or Favorites category.

3

From the Layers tab or Timeline, drag the behavior to the Library stack. In this example,
the behavior is dragged to the Favorites stack. When the green add pointer (+) and
black outline around the stack window appear, release the mouse button.
