Hello,
In order to animate text from 0sec to 1 sec, first write a small text, insert a keyframe at 1sec.(F6 or Right-click in the timeline to insert a keyframe)
With 1st keyframe selected, click Text tool , which will make the text properties appear on the top bar.
Change the font size to larger one.
Test the animation by hitting Play button.
This should work to make the text animation in size.
To add shadow to the text, with the text selected on the stage, open CSS panel.
Under Inline style, hit "add" button and add text-shadow:2px 2px #ff0000; (for example)
This should add text shadow to the text. But this can not be animated in the timeline.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
