Learn how to use a set of typography creation tools with the ProText: Kinetic Volume 2 Lesson.    
Professional - Text Animation Titles - for Final Cut Pro X

STEP 1 - Preparing the Timeline

Lets begin by locating ProText Kinetic 2 in the FCPX Titles library. For this example we will use three different animations, Which will be a Fly In, Move Left and Rotate In X CW. Click, Drag and stack each animation on top of one another in the timeline. When stacking animations make sure you give each adjustment layer time to animate. Depending on how long you want your text to be animating will determine how long you make your adjustment layer. Once you have estimated the time you want your animation to last, Click the bottom adjustment layer and go to the Inspector Window.

STEP 2 - Animation Speed Controls

First you will notice an unchecked box marked “Editable” Clicking this will notify you on the bottom of the viewer screen that the text to that adjustment layer is editable. This allows you to double click on that text and change it, Instead of altering it in the “text” box. Underneath that is your Animation Speed Controls Clicking the Guide check box with give you a color bar giving you a visual representation of Text animation length, Adjustment layer animation length and a warning signal when the text animation length or adjustment layer animation is not present. If you want a precise moment you want your animation to come in and out use the Text speed which is represented in yellow and Adjustment Layer Speed represented in green.

STEP 4 - Text Controls

Below is your Text Controls where you can adjust the scale, Rotation, position and speed method of your selected adjustment layer. You can also use the on screen controls in the viewer window to change position, scale, and rotation if you don’t want to use the sliders in the Inspector Window. The text box allows you to change what your text says if you did not check the editable check box above. Adjusting the move from slider controls which point your text comes in. For example if your text is fairly large then you would need to adjust the slider more to the right moving the text up further so it is not seen before your animation even starts. The spread slider controls how your preset animates out depending on how many words you have for that particular preset and also what you choose your preset to animate by. Underneath you can adjust the direction your text comes in, What your text animates by and last the Anchor position.
