Creating a Banner Advertisement

Using Add Banner Text

5. Next, we can now add some banner text. On the Frame Panel, click the frame where we want the banner text to start and select Frame>Add Banner Text.

6. The Add Banner Text dialog box opens, displaying four tabs: Text, Effect, Frame Control, and Neon. In the Text tab, type your text and specify the font settings.

7. Next, specify the animation effect for your text. In the Effect tab, select from the lists how you want the text to Enter scene and Exit scene. In this tutorial, I chose the Fade effect for both so the text will smoothly fade in and out.

8. Enter the number of frames (I chose 5 for each effect) to specify how many frames you want each effect to last.

9. In the Frame Control tab, set the Delay time between frames to determine how long each frame remains on the screen before moving on to the next frame. Then specify the Key frame delay to determine the interval time between the fade in and fade out effect. That is, it sets how long the fade in effect stays on before the fade out effect starts taking place.

10. Select Distribute to frames. This places the banner text throughout the underlying animation starting from the frame you selected.
