Creating a Banner Advertisement

Using Text Tool and Split Text

12. Next, let's add a second set of text in the banner ad. Select Frame>Add Frame. Select the Text Tool, click in the workspace and type the following text:

Font type and style: 25-point News Gothic, boldface Character spacing: 5 With Anti-aliasing

13. On the Attribute Toolbar, click the Style button for more creative options. Add a Shadow to the text. Also apply the Neon effect: choose Outside for the Direction, set the Width to "5", and click the color square to pick a color (I chose white for a bright effect).

14. Now let's create a fading effect for this text. Duplicate 5 frames. Then in each of these frames, select the text in the Object Manager Panel and increase the Transparency setting by "20". But for the last frame, set Transparency to "99".

TIP: You can achieve the same fading effect by tweening the text object's transparency or by creating a fading banner text. See the tutorials, Tweening and Creating a banner advertisement (Using Banner Text) to see how such effects are done and try them out with your text.

15. Create a third set of text for the concluding scene. Add a new frame, select the Text Tool, then click anywhere in the workspace and type the following:

Font type and style: 25-point News Gothic, boldface Character spacing: 5 With Anti-aliasing
