Applying Behaviors to Text Objects

Since text objects are like other objects in Motion, you can apply any behavior type to

a text object, such as Basic Motion behaviors. You can also apply a combination of text

behaviors with the other behavior types.

In the following examples, a text object is added to a project. Next, the Text Tracking

behavior (from the Text Animation subcategory) and the Fade In/Fade Out behavior

(from the Basic Motion subcategory) are applied to the text object while the project

plays back.

To add a text object:

1 In the Toolbar, select the Text tool (or press T).

2 Click in the Canvas, then type some text.

3 In the Text Layout pane or Dashboard, set Alignment to Center.

The text shifts position in the Canvas because its anchor point is moved from the left

(default) of the text object to its center. If necessary, reposition the text object in the

Canvas.

Note: New text objects (as well as shapes and masks) are created at the frame where

the playhead is when you click in the Canvas with the Text tool, or at the start of the

project. For more information on setting object preferences, see page 123.
