Squeeze

The Squeeze Effect squeezes or stretches the components of a Complex Object over time.

The Squeeze Effect can be applied to a Text Object to change the kerning over time. Words can be made to squeeze inward or stretch outward.

The Squeeze setting tab of the 'Effect Settings' dialog box is represented below. This dialog box is displayed when you first create the Squeeze Effect. It can also be displayed by double-clicking the Squeeze Effect in the Timeline, or right-clicking the Squeeze Effect and choosing 'Properties' from the context Menu.


Direction
Controls the direction of squeezing or stretching.

·	--><--: Squeezes/stretches to/from center.

·	<-<--<: Squeezes/stretches to/from left.

·	>-->->: Squeezes/stretches to/from right.

Note:

·	The component (X) and line (Y) spacing factors at Start/Middle/End of the Effect are specified in the Transforms tab. Using the Y spacing factor, you can squeeze/stretch a multiple-line Complex Object vertically

·	Setting the Direction to center, makes this Squeeze Effect equivalent to the Transform Effect
