Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 536)

536 Chapter 7 Using Text
All of the text characters begin at 350 percent scale and 90 degrees rotation
simultaneously.
Note: Make sure that the Map Animation parameter is set to To Entire Object.
9 In the Parameter row, click the Add pop-up menu, choose Face, then choose Opacity.
Set the Opacity to the lowest value you want to use in your animation. In this example,
Opacity is set to 0 percent so that the text characters begin completely transparent and
fade in to become opaque.
To create a softer transition between each character, you can adjust the Spread
parameter.
To adjust the Spread parameter:
m In the Behaviors tab, drag the Spread slider (or type a number in the value slider).
This example uses a Spread value of 4.
