10 Next, open the Inspector, and click the Behaviors tab. Choose Ramp to Final Value from
the Grow/Shrink behavior’s Increment pop-up menu. This enables the Grow/Shrink
Dashboard control to adjust the size of the affected object at the last frame of the
behavior, so that it doesn’t grow indefinitely.
11 Reposition the text object at the center of the Canvas, move the playhead to the last
frame of the animation, and drag the Grow/Shrink control in the Dashboard until the
text object reaches its final size.
12 Back in the Behaviors tab of the Inspector, increase the value of the Curvature
parameter. This causes the increase in scale to gradually slow to a stop, rather than
stopping abruptly.
13 Next, the Fade In/Fade Out behavior is used to fade the text object onscreen. Select the
text object, click the Add Behavior icon in the toolbar, then choose Basic Motion > Fade
In/Fade Out from the pop-up menu.
