To create objects at the start of the project, select “Start of project.” This means that
all objects are created at the beginning of the project by default, regardless of where
the playhead is when the object is created.
Working With Text
In Motion, you create text directly in the Canvas using the Text tool. Once text has been
added to your project, you can easily apply behaviors and filters to the text objects, or
animate the text using keyframes. In the Project Preferences, you can set the default
duration and location (in time) for a text object.
Creating Text in Your Project
This section describes adding text to your project in the Canvas.
When “Create Objects At” is set to “Start of project” in the Project preferences, added
text is created at the first frame of the project and is the duration of the project. For
example, if you are working in a 900-frame project and you add a text object, the
duration of the text object is 900 frames. To shorten the duration of a text object,
shorten the text object in the Timeline. For more information, see “
