Glow is not selected by default when using the preset Text Sequence behavior. However,
the Color well is still accessible.
3 Without selecting the Glow checkbox, choose a color in the Color well of the Glow controls.
Important: Selecting the Glow checkbox results in an additive effect: The values defined
in the Style pane are added to those in the sequence behavior. This may cause the preset
to change in appearance.

Setting the In and Out Points of Text Behaviors
The In and Out Points of text behaviors are defined in the same way as they are for other
objects. For more information, see Trimming Objects.
Changing the Speed of Text Behaviors
When a behavior from the Text Animation group is added to a text object, the behavior
spans the duration of that text object. However, most behaviors from the Text Sequence
group are much shorter than the duration of the text object.
For example, with the Awaken In behavior selected, the duration of the behavior is much
shorter than the duration of the text object to which it is applied. You can see this in the
mini-Timeline or the Timeline.
You slow down or speed up the animation by changing the duration of the behavior.
