Make sure the 15th frame is selected, now select the "Free Transformation" Tool on the left and drag the text from its corner as shown in Fig 3.
(You may hold the "shift" key on your keyboard to enlarge it evenly)
- Select the enlarged text, not the keyframe, the object on the stage itself. Below you'll find the "Properties" bar, if you can't, go to Windows>Properties.
- *Click on the "Color" drop down menu and select "Alpha", as show in Fig 4. You may change the amount of Alpha (transparency) of the object by changing the percentage.
You're done!
Go to "Control>Test Movie" for the result.
Well done!
For additional effects, please read the last part below.
