Using Text

Example: Creating a Type On Effect

In this example, a text object is set to type on from right to left.

To create a type on effect:

1

Select the text object.

2

Go to the frame where you want the animation to begin.

3

Enable Record.

4

In the Layout pane, set the End value of the Type On parameters to 0.

The text disappears (is “typed off”).

Note: You can also use the Animation menu rather then enabling Record in the
transport controls. Click the Animation menu icon next to the End parameter, then
choose Add Keyframe.

5

Go to the frame where you want the animation to end (the type on effect to be
complete).

6

Set the End value to 100.

7

Play the project.
