    Hi…

    don’t know why I’m having so much trouble with this….

    Let’s say I set up a text animation using selectors and offset that

    takes $10,000

    and each character zooms, spins, and fades in sequentially

    so I set up my adjusted values on position, opacity, and rotation

    and i set up my offset keyframes….works fine

    now my brain breaks…

    on that same $10,000

    but later in time I want to give the characters a sequential vertical bounce…or a position change.

    Now that I have already set a range selector and am using that with position….

    how do I do further editing to the same text obejct?

    Sorry if I’m dense…

    thanks,

    Alex

    Hi there,

    To add a position bounce with it’s own range selector . . . instead of adding a property to the existing animator. Add a completely new animator by clicking on the “Animate” flyout menu (as opposed to the “Add” flyout menu).

    Hope this helps!

    cheers,

    Angie

    Thanks ANgie…

    I don’t see an option to add a new animator as you describe….

    but I can do it if I take my existing animator and duplicate it….

    then I reset it and work from there….

    thanks again!
