Editing Text in the Inspector
All text controls are located in the Text tab of the Inspector. The Text tab is divided into
three panes: Format, Style, and Layout. The Format pane contains text basics, such as
font, size, and tracking. Text characteristics such as face, outline, and blur are controlled
in the Style pane. The Layout pane contains text layout controls, such as margins and
justification.
As with all object parameters in Motion, if the parameter can be animated, the
Animation menu icon (–) appears next to the parameter in the Inspector.
To reset a parameter to its default settings (including removing keyframes), click the
Animation menu, then choose Reset Parameter.
