Join Diane Burns for an in-depth discussion in this video Animating type: Digital flip sign, part of InDesign: Creating Animations.
- Here's another type effect I like a lot,…I call it a digital flip sign.…It's kind of like those old signs…that you used to see in ferry terminals…or railroad stations.…Let's take a look.…Let me show you in the Preview panel.…See how the numebrs flip, flip, flip?…And then at the end we just…have the hand flying in…to finish things off.…But what I want to talk about…is how we get these numbers to flip.…I'm gonna go to the second page…of this file where I've left the first set of…numbers animated,…but I want to show you how we animate…the second set of numbers,…the 10 to 9 years.…
Each of these is actually a stack of numbers.…Let's start with the 10 years group.…If we look at the Layers panel…we can see they go down in order,…10, 9, 8, 7, 6.…I want to animate them all the same.…And I want them to animate in a very specific order,…from 10 going down,…so I'm gonna select them in that order.…I'll use the Layers panel,…since they're stacked on top of each other.…So I'll hold down the shift key,…and select each one.…Now I'm gonna apply the preset Appear.…
