    Is it just me or when fading a text with OUTLINE with FADE BEHAVIOR, the outline will take longer to fade in or out? Even if it’s white text with white outline or Black/black…

    Fade in fade out behavior is broken drop shadows as well bleed through.
    Mark Spencer I believe came up with using levels and keyframe the fade in and out through the Alpha channel. good luck

    Best way to do this is to apply the fade to the movie, not to the layer. Not always possible, I realize, but that’s why nesting is so valuable. Or why it’s often beneficial to export independently a finished layer’s effects and reimport the movie.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    yeah, well thats a work around for something that should work right in the first place!
    Go ahead and export a movie, and when the client wants to change the text or images go through the hoops again!!!!!!??????
    What ever happened to ease of use???
