  Reversing direction of Text Behaviors

  Posted by Jesse Achtenberg on January 18, 2007 at 10:06 pm

  Hi all –

  Once again, back with another question. Any Motion gurus out there, would love your input.

  So, several of the text effects in Motion feature a “wipe/burn/glow on” where a text object starts at 0 opacity and is brought up to 100% as the effect completes. You have two options for the direction these effects go – left to right, or right to left. I want my text to “burn” in (“Flash intro” behavior) from the right side of the screen.

  What I can’t figure out is, when I switch the Direction to “right to left”, instead of burning on from 0% to 100%, it goes from 100% to 0% – i.e. erasing the text instead of laying it down. What gives? I can’t imagine that a program like this wouldn’t allow you to go either direction.

  So what am I doing wrong?..FYI, I tried using the “Reverse” parameter, but you can’t apply this to “Direction.”

  Thanks in advance!
