Text Layers In Action

In this example, we're going to use a Text Layer to re-create the intro title
sequence for the most popular TV show to ever co-star a Smoke Monster.
As you follow along, keep in mind that the settings don't need to be exact
to make this effect work.

Smoke Monster Show Intro
1. In either the Build or Design Workspace, click the Add Blank icon
in the Toolbar to create a new blank slide
2. Change the slide time to 15 seconds, then double-click to open
Slide Options
3. In the Layers List, click the Add (+) icon and select Add Text
Layer from the menu. Type in the word "Found"

4. Click on the Text Settings tab. In the Caption Format pane,
change the Font to Arial, the Case to Convert To Upper Case, set
the Size to 24 and the Color to white.

5. In the Caption Placement pane, set the Alignment to center, and
Rotate the caption a little. A setting of -20 works well.

6. Next, click on the Adjustments tab and set the Blur to around
24%

7. Click on the Effects tab.
In the Staring Position,
in the Motion & Audio
pane, click on each of the
options and change the
motion type to Linear.
This will make sure all
motion happens at a
constant rate.

8. Next, change the Vertical Tilt to around -20 degrees, and the
Horizontal Tilt to 45.
