Thanks Steve. I am very happy to be working with such nice bunch of people.

I am pleased you managed to resolve this issue.

[Zak Peric]

I agree,

Also the way you are doing ti will give you more flexibility.

Well I really think the case is that Apple decided to move them into another group. As Apple did a complete rethink of Sequence Text behavior I think they simply redesign them and possibly renamed. I think they have around 150 different text behaviors currently. So you are really spoiled for choice.

It is very possible that the folder does not exist any more. Please read what I found about new text Sequence behavior in Apple Motion 4:::::

New preset Text Sequence behaviors

Save time by choosing one of 149 new preset Text Sequence behaviors, which feature a wide variety of playful or dramatic effects, such as Scramble In or Shimmer Out, for animating text onto or off the screen. Highlight effects include Scale Through, which makes the text look as if a magnifying glass is being passed over each letter in turn. You can use any preset as is or modify its parameters to get just the effect you want.

I seem to be missing the same 3d text folder.
Which version of Motion are you running currently. 3 or 4

I know of Ripple Training called “Deep Dive” Lesson 7. Mark Spencer was running App,e Motion 3 at the time. I have currently installed motion 4,so maybe apple made changes to apple motion 4 and the 3D text was merged with another text sequence behavior. Difficult to say I need more info from you.i.e. version of motion.

My suggestion is to reinstall the Apple Motion content DVD. Then look for the same folder. If this does not work let me know.

You can use text sequence behavior to animate any parameter within a given text. To do this select the text layer and apply text text sequence behavior. Then you can animated position parameter of Z space. You can use from or to option which means: If it is from then letters will fly from a position you set it out to be in (z or x or y)space to your final position. See this link for more details:https://www.pixelcorps.tv/macbreak then subscribe to podcast and watch podcast stupid card trick, particularly watch the part when Mark demonstrates sequence replicator which is essentially text sequence behavior. The technique of animating the text will be the same. I hope this helps..

What are you watching, which tutorial please. I have not seen such behavior. You need to be more specific before we can help you.
tell me what is the tutorial you are watching, if it is on the net give me the link please.

[Zak Peric]

I just did a research on internet seems that upper is the way forward.
