LiveType is designed to give your text life. In fact, it contains hundreds of pre-built effects. However, sometimes you need something that just doesn’t exist. It’s time to create a custom effect and LiveType makes it easy.

In this short, focused, video tutorial, Larry Jordan shows you how to easily animate your text using custom effects. You’ll learn how to create a lower-third background, how to animate your text, how to add keyframes, how to adjust keyframes, how to add up to 72 different animation parameters to your effect, and how to save your effect so you can reuse it again later.
