Intro to editing text in Motion
You can edit text in the Text HUD or in the Text Inspector.
The Text HUD contains a subset of commonly used controls to adjust font, alignment, size, face color, and line spacing.
The Text Inspector contains all available text controls and is divided into three subpanes:
Format: Contains controls for adjusting basic text parameters such as font, size, alignment, line spacing, tracking, and kerning. See Display the text Format pane.
Appearance: Contains controls for adjusting visual text styles, including opacity, blur, color, outline, glow, and drop shadows. See Display the text Appearance pane.
Layout: Contains controls for adjusting text arrangement settings such as margins, tabs, scrolling, word wrapping, and text on a path. Display the text Layout pane.
If a text parameter can be animated, moving the pointer over the right side of the parameter’s row in the Inspector displays the Add Keyframe button and the Animation menu. Click either to access keyframe and animation controls. See Keyframe controls in the Inspector and Animation menu controls.
To reset a parameter to its default settings (including removing keyframes), click the parameter’s animation menu, then choose Reset Parameter.
