Tutorial Vectorian Giotto Cara Membuat Animasi Teks Part 2

First create a new blank document in which you will make your animation by clicking File from the menu, then New (Ctrl+N).

• Change the document properties:
  Click Modify from the menu, then Document. This will open a Document Properties dialogue screen (shortcut Ctrl+J).
  Change the color of the background to black.
  Change the value in the Frame rate box to 25 fps.

• Select Text Tool (T) and type your text on the stage (our text was Vectorian Inc.).
• Now change the font to some other (we changed it to Helvetica Slim Black Italic YU) and change the font size to 30.

• Center your text on stage by cutting it (Ctrl+X) and than pasting it (Ctrl+V).
• Select your text and press F8 to convert the text to symbol (movie clip).
  Convert to Symbol window will appear, type in the name of your movie clip (“My Text” for instance), select Movie clip, then click OK.
  Double-click on your movie clip in the Library to enter its timeline.

• You don’t need to worry about the color of the text because almost each effect can take control of this aspect of your object/text.
• Right-click on the text and from the dropdown menu select Effect. A new dropdown submenu will appear, from it select Add.
  A new Effects screen will appear. From here you can select, customize and preview any effect on your object.
  For more information on this screen and options in it, please consult the Giotto user manual.
