Creating a Banner Advertisement

Using Add Banner Text

15. For the third and last set of text, we don't want to use the existing images as the background. Instead, we want some simple black text against a white background with a thin green border on all sides.

To create a border, first click Add Frame on the Frame Panel. This adds a single transparent frame at the end of your project. Right-click on the workspace and select Selection - All to select the entire working area. Then, using the Selection Tool - Rectangle from the Tool Panel, hold the Alt key down while clicking and dragging your mouse just barely inside the existing selection area, about a pixel off the original selection. Fill the border with a color (I used sage green) using the Fill Tool.

16. Now select Frame>Add Banner Text and type your text. In the Effect tab, select Drop for Enter scene and Fade for Exit scene. In the Frame Control tab, set the Delay time to 50 and the Key frame delay to 80. In the Neon tab, leave the Neon option cleared. When done, click OK and select Create as Banner Text.

17. Click the Preview tab on your workspace to view the entire animation project.

18. Select File>Save to save your animation project.
