Create animations using the Timeline

6 Set the text box’s size and location to match the colored rectangle, with the size to 550px x 100px and the location
to X=0, Y=0. When you’re done, the top of the Animate stage should look like Figure 10. If for some reason the text
is behind the blue box, you can change the Z-order in the Elements panel. Just drag OnEdgeTemplate so that it’s
above BannerBG.
7 Select OnEdgeTemplate and then press Ctrl+D (c-D). This duplicates the text, though you might not notice right
away because it is placed right on top of the previous text. However, you can see OnEdgeTemplateCopy in the
Elements panel.
8 Drag OnEdgeTemplateCopy down to the middle of the stage. In the next steps, you’ll use this to create individual
text boxes with separate words: “ON,” “the,” and “EDGE.” Before that, it’s a good idea to finish setting up the
positioning template.
9 Select the original OnEdgeTemplate and then set the Text Color to red (#ff0000). As advertised, this text is being
used for a positioning template. Later, the bright red color will make it easier to see if the text is correctly positioned.
10 In Elements, click the Lock Element button next to OnEdgeTemplate. This locks your positioning template in place
so you can’t accidentally select or move it.
