7. In the Page Transformations parameter group in the Controls tab, adjust Position X/Y
so that the text appears at the bottom third of the screen. Set Master Scale to 22. Set
Scale X to 90.
8. Move the playhead to the beginning of the clip. In the Variations parameter
group, click the Add Keyframe button to create a keyframe for the User Text
Variation parameter and set this parameter to 14. When you adjust User Text
Variation, each ASCII character value offsets by a certain amount. This includes spaces
between words. When Letter Variation is 0, no variation occurs.
9. Choose User Text from the Generator Type menu. Choosing User Text allows you to
type a phrase into the Text window for this effect.
10. Choose Random Text from the Variation Mode menu. Random Text uses alphabetical
characters for the text randomization. The characters are randomized so that repeated
letters in the original words are not necessarily the same.
11. Choose Right to Left from the Progress Order menu. Choosing this option will type the
text on from right to left.
12. Move the playhead to time 00:00:02:00 and click the Add Keyframe button to
create a keyframe for Progress (in the Variations parameter group). Set this
parameter to 100. The Progress parameter controls which characters change.
13. Click the Add Keyframe button to create a keyframe for Text Type On (in the Type On
parameter group) and set this parameter to 0. Text Type On adjusts the percentage of
the text that is visible in each frame.
14. In the Type On parameter group, enable the Always Visible checkbox. Selecting the
Always Visible checkbox forces characters to remain visible while the transformations
are progressively applied.
15. In the Type On parameter group, set Reveal Time to 1565, Fade to 34, Shift Y to -25,
Scale X to 143, Scale Y to 415 and Rotate to 4 degrees. These parameters transform the
letters as the words reveal themselves. You can only see the effect while Progress and
Text Type On are animating.
16. Move the playhead to 00:00:03:00. In the Variations parameter group, set User Text
Variation to 100. Setting this parameter to 100 here stops it from animating until the end
of the effect. Set Progress to 0. Setting this parameter to 0 stops any characters from
changing until the end of the effect
