## Text Animator dialog box - Text Animation tab

Use this dialog box to add animated text to your movie. You can add and edit animated text in slides, just as you would add and edit other content. You can add animated text to the beginning, middle, or end of a movie.

Effect: From the pop-up menu, select an effect, which you can view in the preview area on the left.

Text: Enter the text to animate. (After entering text, the text appears in the preview area on the left.)

Change font: Click to display the Font dialog box, which lets you set font options such as type, style, size, and colors.

Transparency: This is the degree of transparency for the animated text. Select a value from 0% to 100%. A value of 10% is less transparent (more solid) than a value of 90%.

Delay: This is the amount of time, in seconds, between when the slide appears and the animated text is displayed.

OK: Click to accept changes made in this dialog box.

Cancel: Click to cancel changes made in this dialog box.

Apply: Click to apply all changes made in this dialog box. This option lets you test and view your changes without closing the dialog box.
