Step 7: Creating the Second
Animation
- Click on the last Frame of your current animation. In this
example, that would be Frame 18 since that's how many frames
were created for the first text animation.
- Type out some new text at the point where the first text
faded to 0% Opacity.
Step 8: Animating the New
Text
- Go up to Modify>Animate>Animate Selection... the same way
you did earlier.
- Change the Direction. This time a value of 90 was used
since we want the animation to travel Upwards this time.
 You
don't have to figure out the Direction in this window. Most
often it's easier to leave the Direction at the default setting
and modify it in the document by dragging the red or green
selection handles.
Click OK once you have the settings you like. The alert will
come up again telling you that more frames will be added.
Step 9: Testing the Animation
Using the Play button at the bottom of your document test
your animation.
You can also access both of the animations you created in the
Library Panel (Window>Library).
Step 10: Optimizing and
Exporting
In the Optimize Panel, click Animated Gif and export.
This animation is a bit large because of the number of
Frames. You'll always be faced with the challenge of including
enough frames to make the animation play smoothly while still
respecting file size. Generally, an animation of 10 Frames will
work best.
