Typography

Text layers support common typography controls.

You can configure:

  • Font weight
  • Font size
  • Text alignment (left, center, right)

Typography values can be animated over time using keyframes.

Transform and Layout

Text layers support standard transform controls:

  • Position (X and Y)
  • Scale (horizontal and vertical)
  • Rotation and skew
  • Anchor point

These properties behave the same as other layer transforms and can be animated or driven by states.

Appearance

Text color and opacity are controlled in the Appearance section.

  • Fill color can be animated
  • Opacity affects the entire text layer
  • Blend modes follow standard layer behavior
