Title Motion
You can use the settings on the Motion page of the Title panel to set the position of your text. With the addition of keyframes, you can add precise movements to change the position of the text over time, including rotation, tilt, and swivel movements.
For each layer in your title, you can choose to apply motion to the individual lines, words, or letters in your title.
Legacy Presets
The Legacy Presets page also provides motion options in the form of preset animation routines. For example, presets include typing effects, scrolling or bouncing text. The motions are divided into three classes:
• Enter: An enter Motion controls the arrival of the title layer – its first appearance within the running title.
• Emphasis: An emphasis motion maintains audience focus on the content of a title layer by giving it an attention-getting action during its time onscreen.
• Exit: An exit motion takes the title layer off-stage again, completing its life cycle.
Each layer is allowed to have one motion of each type.
Note: Enter and Exit presets often have matching pairs if you want to apply a consistent effect.
