  1. Hide the properties for the layer. If you used the Hand tool to reposition the image, move it
    back now. Then select the Selection tool, and manually preview the text animation.




  2. Go to 4:14, and activate the 3D Camera Tracker track points again by selecting the
    Shoreline.mov layer in the Timeline panel, and then either selecting 3D Camera Tracker
    under the Shoreline.mov layer or selecting 3D Camera Tracker in the Effect Controls panel.




  3. With the Selection tool, select a target for a flat plane against the large rock on the right.
    Then right-click the target, and choose Create Text.




  4. Select the Text layer in the Timeline panel, and press R, and then Shift+P+S to see the
    Rotation, Position, and Scale properties. Then change the Orientation values to 0 , 45 , 1 0 ,
    and the Scale property to 2000%.




  5. Double-click the Text layer, and then type SCRAMBLING in the Composition panel.




  6. Go to 3:10, where this text should first be visible. Use the Selection tool to drag the text so
    that it starts below “ARE” and continues offscreen. You can also use the Rotation tool.
    When you’re satisfied with its position, click the stopwatch icon to create an initial
    keyframe for the Position property.




  7. Go to 4:21, and use the Selection tool to move the text as it appears in the image below.
    Then do the same at 6:05 and 7:04, so that the text continues to move down and toward the
    left.
