Converting a Text Track into a Container

Converting a Text Track into a Container
Converting a single text track into a container puts each individual character into its own
track, which lets you easily position each element separately. Then you can simultaneously
animate individual characters at the track level and animate the entire text at the container
level.
You can convert imported Illustrator EPS files or Photoshop PSD files into their original
layers, as well as converting spline objects. For more information, see “Importing Layered
Photoshop Files” on page 147 and “Converting Spline Objects to a Container” on page 545.
To convert a text track into a container:
• Select the text track and select Track > Convert to Container.
Each character in the effect appears on its own text track. These tracks are placed within
a 3D container.
