Setting the In and Out Points of the Text Behaviors
The In and Out Points of text behaviors are defined in the same manner as all other
objects. For more information, see
Trimming Objects .
Changing the Speed of Text Behaviors
When a behavior from the Text Animation group is added to a text layer, the behavior is
the duration of that text layer. Most of the behaviors from the Text Sequence group,
however, are much shorter than the duration of the text layer.
For example, with the Awaken In behavior selected, notice that the duration of the
behavior is much shorter than the duration of the text layer to which it is applied. You
can see this in the mini-Timeline or the Timeline.
You slow down or speed up the animation by changing the duration of the behavior.
To slow the sequence animation
1 Select the sequence behavior.
2 Do one of the following:
• In the mini-Timeline or Timeline, click the right end of the behavior bar and drag toward
the right (to extend the behavior) to the frame where you want the animation to end.
• Go to the frame where you want to set the new Out point, then choose Mark > Mark
Out (or press O).
For more information, see Trimming Objects .
Note: Conversely, you can speed up the animation by shortening the duration of the
behavior.
To speed up the sequence animation
1 Select the sequence behavior.
2 Do one of the following:
• In the mini-Timeline or Timeline, click the right end of the behavior bar and drag toward
the left (shorten the behavior) to the frame where you want the animation to end.
