You can change the color or other attributes of the text glow by using the Glow controls in the
Style pane of the Text Inspector.
Change the default settings of Text Sequence behaviors
Text Sequence behaviors use default text settings, such as glow color (yellow) and alignment
(left). You can change these settings in the Inspector.
Change the default glow color of a preset sequence behavior in the Text Style pane
1
Select the text sequence behavior.
2
In the Text Inspector, open the Style pane.
Glow is not selected by default when using the preset Text Sequence behavior. However, the
Color well is still accessible.
3
Without selecting the Glow checkbox, choose a color in the Color well of the Glow controls.
Important:
Selecting the Glow checkbox results in an additive effect: The values defined in the
Style pane are added to those in the sequence behavior. This may cause the preset to change
in appearance.

1
Select the text sequence behavior.
2
In the Parameter row of the Behaviors Inspector, click the Add pop-up menu, then choose Glow
> Color.
The Color parameter is added to the Glow parameters in the behavior.

Use the Color controls to change the color of the glow.
Change the default text alignment for a preset sequence behavior in the Text Format pane
1
Select the text.
2
In the Text Inspector, open the Format pane.
3
From the Alignment pop-up menu, choose Center.
Change the speed of Text Sequence behaviors
When a behavior from the Text Animation group is added to a text object, the behavior spans
the duration of that text object. However, most behaviors from the Text Sequence group are
much shorter than the duration of the text object.
For example, with the Awaken In behavior selected, the duration of the behavior is much shorter
than the duration of the text object to which it is applied. You can see this in the mini-Timeline
or the Timeline.
You slow down or speed up the animation by changing the duration of the behavior.
