Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 502)

502 Chapter 7 Using Text
The text object opacity is dynamically updated as you drag the slider.
To set the opacity in the Inspector:
1 Select the text object.
2 In the Inspector (press Command+3), click the Text tab.
3 Click Style.
4 In the Face controls, drag the Opacity slider or enter an opacity value in the field.
Note: Because a text object is like other objects in Motion, you can also adjust its
opacity in the Properties tab. Setting the Opacity value in the Properties tab and
setting the Opacity value in the Style pane are separate controls that have
multiplicative effects. In other words, if Opacity is set to 50 percent in the Properties
tab, then set to 50 percent in the Text Style pane, the result opacity for the text object
is 25 percent.
