Using the Crawl and Scroll Behaviors (Motion 3.0.2 and Earlier)

In this section, the Crawl Left behavior is used to illustrate working with the Text Animation
behaviors. The guidelines for modifying the Crawl Left behavior also apply to the Crawl
Right, Scroll Down, and Scroll Up behaviors.

The Crawl Left behavior scrolls the text to the left across the Canvas.

To use the Crawl Left behavior

1

Apply the Crawl Left behavior (from the Text Animation subcategory) to the text.

The behavior animation path appears and displays the projected motion of the text. The
animation path extends from the anchor point of the text. For example, if the alignment
of the text in the following image was set to Center, the animation path would extend
from the anchor point at the center of the text.

Note: To show and hide animation paths, use the View pop-up menu in the upper-right
corner of the main window (above the Canvas).

2

Click Play (or press Space bar).

The text moves horizontally across the Canvas over the duration of the text to which it
is applied.

Crawl Left and Crawl Right Controls (Motion 3.0.2 and Earlier)

Use the parameters in the Crawl Right or Crawl Left behavior tabs in the Inspector to
modify the crawl animation.
