Q: Live Type - Fades and Title Movement with Animation

I am wondering how to add fades (fade in and fade out) to text or animation.  I am also wondering how it might be possible to

animate text.  Thank you very much!

    1. Simple. It's just a matter of adding two keyframes to an effects container that change the opacity level over time.

    2. Very possible. Add any of the dozens of animation presets to a LiveType timeline and look in the Inspector's Effects tab to see what the active parameters are and deconstruct them. Do your own experimentation.

    3. Read the extensive .pdf manual found in the Help menu bar item.

    You can also add a Fade In or Fade Out effect to any a track in LiveType.
