Using Text
To save a modified behavior to the Library:
1
Select the behavior you want to save.
Note: Although not required, it is recommended that you rename the behavior to a
more descriptive name for organizational purposes.
2
In the Library (press Command+2), select the location in which you want to store the
behavior, such as the Text Sequence subcategory or Jellies category.
3
From the Layers tab or Timeline, drag the behavior to the Library stack. In this example,
the behavior is dragged to the Favorites stack. When the green “+” sign and black
outline around the stack window appear, release the mouse button.
The behavior is saved to the Library. A custom behavior is represented by a user icon in
the lower-right corner of the Behaviors icon.
Using Other Behaviors With Text Objects
Since text objects are like all other objects in Motion, you can apply any Basic Motion,
Parameter, or Simulation behavior to text objects. Since the characters of a text object
make the object a group, you can create some unique animations using the Simulation
behaviors. This section provides a quick introduction to working with nontext
behaviors applied to text objects. For more information on using behaviors, see “
