Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 545)

Chapter 7 Using Text 545
To use the Text Tracking behavior:
m Apply the Text Tracking behavior (from the Text Animation subcategory) to the text
object.
By default, a Tracking value of 2 is applied to the text object.
Once the Text Tracking behavior is applied to a text object, the Behaviors icon appears
in the Tracking parameter (in the Format pane of the Text Inspector). As the project
plays, the change in tracking value over time is displayed in the Tracking parameter
field. The change in value is based on the rate set in the Rate parameter of the Text
Tracking behavior.
Note: Just like the Tracking parameter in the Format pane of the Text Inspector, the
Text Tracking behavior respects the Alignment setting of the text object. For example,
to track from the center of the text outward, the Alignment of the text object must be
set to Center. This parameter is located in the text object Dashboard or the Layout pane
of the Text Inspector.
