Preset Text Sequence Behaviors (Motion 3.0.2 and Earlier)

The Text Sequence behavior subcategory includes the 3D Move, Basic, Fade, Glow,
Miscellaneous, Move and Zoom Text behavior groups. Although all of the behaviors in
these groups are predefined animations, the parameter values can be modified, and other
parameters can be added or removed. For example, the Blur Fade In behavior (from the
Fade group) automatically animates the text Blur and Opacity values by default. However,
you can add a parameter, such as Scale, to the behavior.

All of the sequence behaviors are variations on the Sequence Text behavior in the Text
Animation subcategory. Although the Text Sequence behaviors are all presets—the
parameters are already selected and animated—you can still add, remove, or modify any
parameter that is available to the Sequence Text behavior. For more information on the
Sequence Text behavior, see

Using the Sequence Text Behavior (Motion 3.0.2 and Earlier)

.

As with all behaviors, you can save a modified behavior to the Library as your own custom
behavior. For more information, see
