Tip: Because most preset text sequence behaviors are keyframed, it is often helpful to see where
the keyframes occur when customizing. In the Timeline, click the Show/Hide Keyframes button.
The keyframes appear on the behavior’s bar.

Move the playhead to frame 1, then click Record to turn on keyframing.
6
In the Behaviors Inspector, set the Rotation dial to 90.
7
Play the project (press the Space bar).
Because the Rotation parameter has only a single keyframe, the text remains static at 90 degrees.
8
Move the playhead to frame 30, and set Rotation to 0.
Now that you’ve set a second keyframe value, the sequence is animated.
Note: You can edit the keyframes in the Keyframe Editor. For more information, see
on page 439.

Return the playhead to frame 1 and play the project (press the Space bar).
