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.

5

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).

As the project plays, the text rotates from 90 degrees to 0 degrees.
