See how to work with text in Animate CC and how to add your own fonts from Typekit.
- [Voiceover] Adding text in Animate CC…is also pretty straightforward just like with drawing,…but it does have a few caveats as well.…Plus you can add Typekit Fonts really easily,…and that's what I'm gonna do.…I'm gonna start out by creating a new layer.…I'm gonna call this layer Text,…and I'm gonna use the Text Tool and I'm gonna start typing.…I'll just type in all caps DESIGN just like that.…Notice how it takes my fill color?…Well, I can select that word…and let's check out my Properties panel…so you can see all of your settings.…
If you want to change the Color,…you can change the Color to white in this case.…Okay, notice how also it's set to Selectable.…These are one of the little, just little caveats,…little things you need to be aware of…when you're using text.…Also Anti-alias, you can decide to use device fonts,…and that will use the system Times Regular if they have it.…So that's what's going on there,…but in general since this is for an animation, select that.…Also readability is a good choice as well.…
