    Greetings all!

    I just started to use Motion 4 a couple of weeks ago, so this will be a beginners question. 🙂

    How do you make the texts or words in a sentence to follow a speaker voice? In other words – how do I pause the “writing” of the text at commas, periods etc when I use a Text Animation like “Type On” or Text Sequence “Fade Characters Left in”?

    It seemed simple enough, but I can’t get it to work…

    You can do this with the Sequence Text behavior. You create a parameter for opacity and assign it to 0. Then change the speed to custom and use keyframes to time the words fading in.

    Or the same trick can be applied to crop. Ot to the beginning and endpoint of a stroke type thing.
