Notes: Week 6 (Feb 21)

Text animators

  • Apply text animators by choosing properties from the Animate drop down menu
  • To more than one property to an Animator, use the Add drop-down menu after the initial Animator is created
  • To add more Animators, keep using the Animate drop-down menu (make sure no other Animator is selected)
  • Most Animator properties are animated using the Range Selector > Offset of each Animator

  • When using the Offset technique, set the Animator properties to the "ultimate" amount (the largest or smallest scale value, 0 opacity, etc); do not key the actual property
  • For smoother, overlapping Offset animation, use the Ramp Up/Ramp Downproperties in Advanced > Shape menu.
  • Adjust Ease High and Ease Low in Advanced settings for different animation overlap
 Browse Text Animation Presets
  • Open the Effects and Presets window
  • Open the menu in the upper-right corner of the window and select Browse Presets
  • Go to the Text folder and look at animation previews
  • To apply a preset, make sure your text layer is selected and double click on the preset in the Browsing window
