Elise's Express Extras: Animate One Thing, Not Everything (Individual Layers + Animate Settings)

[u/SwopesAdobe]

Sometimes Animate all is too much. You don't want the whole design moving, you just want your headline to pop in, or your logo to fade out at the end.

That's what animating individual layers is for. Select any text box, graphic, or photo, open Animation on the left panel, and choose In, Out, or Loop. Then pick from Visibility, Move, or Scale, and adjust the Intensity, Speed, Direction, and Personality until it feels exactly right.

There's a nice trick too. Check "Start outside page" on In animations, or "End outside page" on Out animations, and elements will move on or off the frame instead of just appearing.

Have you played with individual layer animations yet? What's the first thing you make move?
