Chapter 17 Animated text 690
•
From: The animation moves from the value set in the sequence behavior to the original
parameter value. For example, if the original opacity value is 100% and opacity is set to 0%
in the Sequence Text parameters, the text unit begins completely transparent and becomes
completely opaque. This is the opposite of the To option in the Sequencing pop-up menu.
•
Through: The sequence goes through a full animation cycle starting at the original value
of the parameter, moves to the value set in the sequence behavior, and then returns to
the original value of the parameter. For example, if the original opacity value is 100%, and
opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Text parameters, the text unit begins completely
opaque, becomes transparent, and then becomes completely opaque again.
•
Through Inverted: The sequence goes through an inverted animation cycle starting from
the value set in the sequence behavior, moves to the original value, and then returns to
the value set in the sequence behavior. For example, if the original opacity value is 100%
and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Text parameters, the text unit begins completely
transparent, becomes opaque, and then becomes completely transparent. This is the
opposite of the Through Sequencing option.
•
Custom: Lets you keyframe how the animation moves through the values set in the
Sequence Text parameters. When Custom is selected from the Sequencing pop-up menu,
the Minimum and Maximum parameters in the Variance controls (see description below) are
replaced with the Amount parameter, and the Fix pop-up menu appears.
•
Animate: Use this pop-up menu to specify whether the animation is sequenced by Character,
Character (Without Spaces), Word, Line, All, or Custom (a keyframed range).
•
Character: Sequences the animation by single characters of text (including spaces).
•
Character (without spaces): Like the Character setting, sequences single characters of text, but
does not treat spaces as characters (spaces are ignored).
•
Word: Sequences the animation by word.
•
Line: Sequences the animation by lines of text.
•
All: Sequences the animation through the entire text object.
•
Custom: Lets you customize the size of the sequenced text unit. When Custom is selected
from the Animate pop-up menu, the Start and End parameters become available. These
parameters define the size of the selection.
•
Start: Drag this slider, available when Animate is set to Custom, to define the starting point of
the selection to be sequenced.
•
End: Drag this slider, available when Animate is set to Custom, to define the ending point of
the selection to be sequenced.
•
Select: Use these controls to set the range of characters affected by the animation defined in
the Animate pop-up menu.
•
Range: In combination with the Start Index and End Index parameters, use this pop-up
menu to specify the range of text that is sequenced by All (the default setting), Character,
Character in Word, Character in Line, Word, Word in Line, or Line.
•
Start Index: Sets the beginning of the range for the sequence animation.
