    Is it possible to make curved line for text display? LiveType has an effect call Valley. It basically slides back and forth. But in the description for the effects suggests that you make a curved font and center justify it. But can one make a curved line of text on Livetype? And if not, where can I?

    From the Help doc:

    (I searched for “curve”)

    1 Open a new project, and enter some text onto the track.
    2 Left-justify the text on the track.
    3 Move the track up toward the top of the Canvas.
    4 Add a control point in the middle of the track by holding down the Control key and
    clicking the track line in the Canvas. Control-click the control point to choose Curve
    Out.
    You want to leave the left half of the track more or less in the same position, and create
    a curved path arcing down and around clockwise from that point. Only a couple of
    additional control points are needed. See Chapter 4,
