Chapter 7 Using Text 633
Fade In: When turned on, fades the text characters on or off. When turned off, the text
characters pop on as they appear.
Example: Creating a Type-On Effect
In this example, text is set to type on from right to left.
To create a type on effect:
1 Select the text.
2 Go to the frame where you want the animation to begin.
3 Enable Record.
4 In the Layout pane, set the End value of the Type On parameters to 0.
The text disappears (is “typed off”).
Note: You can also use the Animation menu rather then enabling Record in the
transport controls. Click the Animation menu icon next to the End parameter, then
choose Add Keyframe.
5 Go to the frame where you want the animation to end (the type-on effect to be
complete).
6 Set the End value to 100.
7 Play the project.
