2. Select the Horizontal Type tool ( ), and then click on the left edge of the image, about
halfway down from the top.

Photoshop creates a new type layer, named Layer 1, in the Video Group 2 track. The type layer
initially includes “Lorem Ipsum” placeholder text.


3. In the options bar, select a sans serif font such as Myriad Pro, set the type size to 600 pt,
and select white for the type color.
4. Type BEACH DAY, replacing the selected placeholder text. Click the check mark ( ) in
the options bar to commit the text to the layer.

The text is large enough that it doesn’t all fit on the image. That’s okay; you’ll animate it to
move across the image.


5. In the Layers panel, change the opacity for the BEACH DAY layer to 25 %.

6. In the Timeline panel, drag the end point of the type layer to 03:00 so that it has the same
duration as the 1_Family layer.
7. Click the arrow to the left of the BEACH DAY clip title to display the clip’s attributes.
8. Make sure the playhead is at the beginning of the time ruler.
9. Click the stopwatch icon ( ) next to the Transform property to set an initial keyframe for
the layer.

The keyframe appears as a yellow diamond in the timeline.
