Step Nine:
If you want the larger type to fade in
(rather than just appearing abruptly),
Click on the Transition icon, and in the
Drag to Apply dialog (seen here), click
on Fade, and then drag-and-drop it
right at the beginning of your duplicate
Type clip (as shown here), and now it
will smoothly fade in. Okay, you ready
to take it up a notch? Let's do some
type animation.
Step 10:
In the Layers panel, click on the smaller
Type layer, then go to the Timeline panel
and click on the little right-facing arrow
to the left of the word “Passion” on the
far left to reveal the animation controls
(shown here). Move your playhead just
past the beginning of where your type ap-
pears, then click on the Enable Keyframe
Animation control to the left of Text Warp
(as shown here) and it adds a diamond
icon to your timeline (shown circled here
in red), which marks the spot at which
your text warp animation will start. Now,
drag your playhead over to where you
want it to stop and just leave it there for
now. Double-click on your Type layer's
thumbnail in the Layers panel to select
your text, then go up to the Options Bar,
and click on the Create Warped Text
icon (also shown circled here). When the
Warp Text dialog appears, choose any
Style you like (I chose Arch), change the
Bend amount (I chose +26), and click OK.
Go back to the Timeline panel, to the
Tex t War p animation control, click the
diamond icon (to the left of Text Warp)
to mark the end of your animation (as
shown here at the bottom), and you're
done. Now when you click the Play icon,
your text will be regular text when it first
appears, and then it will animate a bend-
ing move into arched text.
