character Fades, Shifts, Skews, Tumbles, Spins, and/or Rotates for 0.5 seconds (50% of 1),
and subsequently remains stationary for the rest of the effect. In this case, the next letter does
not appear for another 0.5 seconds after the previous letter stops animating.
Acceleration allows you to gradually accelerate the effect.
Overshoot allows you to create bouncing text effects, when combined with any parameters
except Fade. Each character moves past its destination position or scale by the value
speciÞed in Overshoot before returning to its destination position or scale. This parameter
only affects animations created with the Shift, Scale, Skew, Tumble, Spin, and/or Rotate
parameters. If all of these parameters are set to the default, Overshoot has no affect.

Decay works in conjunction with the Overshoot parameter. Decay is expressed as a
percentage that allows you to exponentially decrease the Overshoot. For example, you set
the Shift Y so that the characters move in from the top of the frame with an Overshoot of
300. Setting Decay to 50 means that each of the three bounces will decay by half.
Fade allows you to gradually fade in successive characters. When Fade is set to 100, each
character appears suddenly and is fully opaque. Decreasing this value creates a more
gradual effect, in which each character fades on as its opacity increases.
Shift X and Shift Y adjust the starting position of the characters in relation to their
destinations (controlled by the Position X/Y and Position Z values in the Page
Transformations parameter group) on the screen. For example, if the text is placed in the
center of the screen and Shift X is set to 320, when Text Type On is animated, each character
Þrst appears on the right side of the screen, then moves toward the center.
