Using Text

Note: Often, you can enter values larger than a parameter’s slider allows by typing in
the value slider.

Click the Play button (or press the Space bar).

The first character begins at 100 percent, scales up to 350 percent, and then scales back
down to 100 percent. The animation sequence moves through the text object.

As the animation sequences through the text object, small white lines travel with the
animation. These lines represent selection—whatever is in between the two solid white
lines is the current selection, and receives the full effect of the animation. The soft line
represents the selection falloff, and “leads” the next character into the animation.

6

Add the Rotation parameter to the Sequence Text behavior. (Click the Add pop-up
menu, choose Format, then choose Rotation.)

Small white lines represent selection.
