To modify the Flare In behavior

1

Select the text layer to be animated, click the Add Behavior icon in the Toolbar, then
choose Text-Glow > Flare In.

At the first frame, the text is not visible because Face opacity and Glow opacity are
animating from 0% to 100%.

2

Click Play (or press the Space bar).

The text characters fade in from 0% to 100% percent opacity, and sharpen in from a blur
value of 10. A glow rides the effect in as the text appears.

3

With the Flare In behavior selected, click the Behaviors tab (if it is not already open).

The Inspector lists the specific text parameters used to create the animation (above the
Add and Remove pop-up menus). The sequence Controls are not disclosed by default.

Although most of the sequence Controls appear in the Flare In HUD, the Add and Remove
pop-up menus (and the parameters they affect) do not.
