Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 512)

512 Chapter 7 Using Text
Saving a Custom Text Style
Once you have modified parameters in the Style pane (such as Gradient or Glow) or
Format pane (such as Tracking or Slant), you can save the style that you have created to
the Text Styles category in the Library. These custom styles can then be used and
applied just like the preset styles.
Note: Any custom presets that you save to the Library are stored in /Home/Library/
Application Support/Motion/Library/Text Styles. The Motion Library is in two places on
your computer: The read-only content that is installed with Motion is in the /Users/
Shared/Motion folder (unless you selected a custom location when you installed
Motion), and all custom content that you create is saved in /Home/Library/Application
Support/Motion/Library/.
To save a modified text style to the Library:
1 Select the text object with the modified parameters you want to save as a style.
2 In the Style pane, click the Style Preset pop-up menu, then choose one of the
following:
• To save a style with only the Style pane parameters, choose Save Style.
• To save a style with only the Format pane parameters, choose Save Format.
• To save a style with parameters from both the Style and Format panes, choose Save
All.
3 In the Save Preset To Library dialog, type the name of your preset.
4 Click Save.
