Add a character to the canvas > Add the Holding a Card action

1. Increase the duration of the action in the timeline as needed

Note that the card has a scale up animation.

Position the marker to the point where the card is in its fullest size

3. Add text to the card and adjust its placement

4. The text element must be aligned with the action on the timeline,

and should look like this:

Next, animate the text with a scale up animation to create an illusion that the text is written on the card

5. Place the marker at the start of the timeline

6. Select the text element on the timeline

7. Click on Add Animation > Select Scale

Keyframe points should appear on the text element

9. Adjust the keyframes so that they start at the beginning and the ends where the card is at full size

10. Select the first keyframe and set the text size to zero (0)

11. Go to the second keyframe and set the size of the text to full size, making sure it fits the card perfectly

12. Move the marker and find the point where the character changes the card. Make sure the text extends up to that point.

13. Add new text to the next card. Repeat adding text as needed.
