| Your first task is to create and position the layers of text that you'll animate into the scene in the next section. Your main objective is to create a line of text that spans the width of the composition; so, you can type any words you like, or you can type the text we specify in step 2. Follow these steps: 1. | Select the Horizontal Type tool, and set its properties in the Character and Paragraph palettes: Font Family: Arial Text Size: 18 Fill Color: white (RGB: 255, 255, 255) Alignment: Center Text Settings for the Horizontal Type tool
| 2. | Type Which came first: art or the artist? The idea, or the inspiration for the idea? or other text that covers the entire width of the composition once it's positioned in the next step. | 3. | Set the text layer's Position to 5, 20 so the line of text starts in the upper-left corner of the Composition window. The first text layer's position
| 4. | Duplicate the text layer seven times, so you have a total of eight layers. Set their Position properties as listed here: Layer 1: 5, 20 Layer 2: 5, 50 Layer 3: 5, 80 Layer 4: 5, 110 Layer 5: 5, 140 Layer 6: 5, 170 Layer 7: 5, 200 Layer 8: 5, 230 The text layers' landing positions
