Enter 0 in the first key frame and 100 in the last key frame. This will ensure that all letters in the title will complete a motion sequence.

Note: Level is the only setting which can vary in key frames. All other settings are applied globally for the duration of the animation.

5.	Choose an Acceleration option. This will affect your title only if you have selected an Action other than All.
